The difference between the original cross sectional area of a tension test specimen and the area of its smallest cross section ... The reduction of area is usually expressed as a percentage of the original cross sectional area of the specimen.  1, record 1, English, - reduction%20of%20area

Many English authors make no difference between "reduction of area" which is a phenomenon and "percent reduction of area" which is a mathematical value.  4, record 1, English, - reduction%20of%20area

There are two types of snow avalanches; loose-snow avalanches which originate in cohesionless snow and which start from one point, gathering more and more snow as they descend and slab avalanches which start when a large area of cohesive snow begins to slide at the same time. Both types occur in wet and dry snow, either sliding down on a layer of snow within the snowpack or along the ground surface.  3, record 2, English, - loose%2Dsnow%20avalanche

Loose snow sliding down a mountainside is called a loose snow avalanche.... Very few people are killed by loose snow avalanches because they tend to be small and they tend to fracture beneath you as you cross a slope instead of above you as slab avalanches often do. The avalanche culture tends to minimize the danger of loose snow avalanches, sometimes calling them "harmless sluffs. "  4, record 2, English, - loose%2Dsnow%20avalanche

cohésion de la neige : ensemble des liaisons qui maintiennent les cristaux et grains de neige associés les uns aux autres. La cohésion de la neige est à l'origine de sa consistance. Une couche de neige qui a un très bonne cohésion est très dure. Une couche de neige à faible cohésion est poudreuse si elle est sèche, ou molle et pâteuse si elle est mouillée.  4, record 2, French, - avalanche%20de%20neige%20sans%20coh%C3%A9sion
