... the three basic elements that make up breaking—top rock, down rock and freeze. Top rock refers to all moves that are performed while standing up—generally a combination of stylish hand movements and footwork whereas freeze is when the breaker comes to a standstill in an unusual position(on their head or hands) in the middle of their routine. But the most crucial and often the highlight of the performance is the down rock, which involves all moves done on the floor. It features spins, footwork, transitions and, most importantly, power moves. 2, record 1, English, - spin

Le cryoséisme est un phénomène provoqué par le mouvement de la glace lors de période de froid extrême. Il peut être causé par une rupture soudaine d'un bloc de glace, d'un sol gelé ou d'une roche saturée en eau. Pour que cela arrive, il faut que de l'eau se soit infiltrée dans le sol avant que celui-ci n'ait eu le temps de geler complètement. La baisse des températures fera par la suite geler cette eau, qui prendra du volume et exercera une pression sur la terre ou les roches qui l'entourent, les faisant éclater. 1, record 2, French, - cryos%C3%A9isme

Evaporimeter(atmometer) An evaporimeter consists of a flat, porous ceramic disk(Bellani plate) in which water is drawn up by capillary action as water is evaporated from the disk. It is used to directly estimate crop evapotranspiration rate. Several commercial models can be easily installed near the edge of a field or on a roadway in a field.(The unit must be located far enough into the field to avoid field boundary effects.) One commercial model provides a green canvas-like material covering the ceramic disc to simulate crop leaf color. Reasonably good correlation has been found between field measurements and that calculated from Penman-type equations. Small difference in evaporation rates may be found between individual meters. Maintaining water levels and removal for freeze protection are necessary. 5, record 3, English, - Bellani%20atmometer

Pressure-vacuum vents are relatively inexpensive devices that limit emissions from an enclosed tank by allowing the tank to contain small pressure changes due to ambient pressure or temperature changes. Care must be taken with these devices. In some VOL service, the pressure-vacuum vents may freeze, and therefore be unable to relieve the larger pressure differentials which may build up and for which the tank was not designed to withstand. Furthermore, some older tanks may not be able to support even a small pressure difference between the inside and outside of the tank. Pressure-vacuum vents are not compatible with floating roofs : the former require that the tank shell be vapour tight, and the latter require that the tank shell be freely vented. 1, record 8, English, - pressure%2Dvacuum%20vent

Les évents de surpression/dépression sont des dispositifs relativement peu coûteux qui réduisent les émissions dans un réservoir fermé en permettant de légères hausses ou baisses de pression à l'intérieur du réservoir pour tenir compte des fluctuations de la pression ou de la température ambiante. Ces dispositifs exigent certaines précautions. Dans certains cas, les évents de surpression/dépression peuvent geler et ne plus être en mesure de compenser les pressions différentielles qui peuvent se créer dans le réservoir, et pour lesquelles le réservoir n'a pas été conçu. En outre, certains réservoirs plus anciens ne sont peut-être pas capables de supporter même une faible différence de pression entre l'intérieur et l'extérieur du réservoir. Les évents de surpression/dépression ne peuvent être utilisés en combinaison avec des toits flottants: les évents exigent que la cuve du réservoir soit étanche, tandis que les toits flottants exigent que la cuve du réservoir soit librement ventilée. 1, record 8, French, - %C3%A9vent%20de%20surpression%2Fd%C3%A9pression
