In an osmotic power plant, we feed freshwater and seawater into two chambers, separated by a membrane. The salt in the seawater then draws the freshwater through the membrane, causing the pressure on the seawater side to increase. This pressure corresponds to a water column of 120 metres, similar to a large waterfall, and can be utilized in a turbine to generate electricity. Osmotic power plants can be constructed anywhere freshwater flows out into the sea, provided that the salt concentration is sufficiently high.  3, record 1, English, - osmotic%20power%20plant

Fonctionnement d'une centrale osmotique. Lorsqu'on sépare de l'eau douce et de l'eau salée avec une membrane semi-perméable, l'eau douce migre par osmose vers l'eau salée, ce qui augmente la pression du côté de l'eau salée. C'est la pression osmotique. Elle sert à faire tourner une turbine.  2, record 1, French, - centrale%20osmotique

Pockmarks may... refer to shallow seabed depressions, typically several tens of metres across and a few metres deep. Generally, they are formed in soft, fine-grained seabed sediments by the escape of fluids(gas or water, but mainly methane) into the water column.... As mud volcanoes are on land, pockmarks in the sea bottom can be associated with earthquake areas. Many scientists suggest monitoring gas emissions and activity from seabed pockmarks because they can help predict strong earthquakes, thus saving lives.  3, record 3, English, - pockmark

The most common plant fouling on ships is the brown algae Ectocarpus spp. and the green algae Enteromorpha spp., often referred to as sea grass due to its similar appearance and colour. Polycellular algae begins with the settlement of microscopic spores. These spores can settle in seconds and colonise a submerged surface within hours. Plant fouling usually occurs where there is available sunlight, i. e. around the water line and a few metres below. It is not usually found on the flat bottom of vessels.  1, record 4, English, - plant%20fouling

Current climate models predict a global warming of about 1. 4-5. 8°C between 1990 and 2100.... Inland regions are projected to warm faster than oceans and coastal zones. The reason is simply the ocean delay, which prevents the sea surface from warming as fast as the land. The size of this delay depends on how deep any warming penetrates into the oceans. Over most of the oceans, the uppermost few hundred metres do not mix with the water beneath them. These upper layers will warm within a few years, while the deep ocean stays cold. Water mixes down into the ocean depths in only a few very cold regions... In these regions, warming will be delayed because much more water needs to be warmed up to get the same temperature change at the surface.  1, record 6, English, - ocean%20delay

Les modèles climatiques actuels prévoient un réchauffement de la planète d'environ 1,4-5,8 °C entre 1990 et 2100. [...] Les régions situées à l'intérieur des terres devraient se réchauffer plus vite que les océans et les zones côtières. La raison en est simple : l'effet retardateur des océans empêche la surface de la mer de se réchauffer aussi vite que la terre. L'importance de cet effet dépend de la profondeur de l'océan touchée par le réchauffement. Pour la plupart des océans, les quelques centaines de mètres d'eaux superficielles ne se mélangent pas aux eaux profondes. Les eaux de surface se réchauffent en quelques jours alors que les eaux profondes restent froides. L'eau ne se mélange dans les profondeurs que dans certaines régions très froides [...]. Dans ces régions, le réchauffement se trouvera retardé en raison des quantités d'eau beaucoup plus importantes en cause pour parvenir à une modification analogue de la température à la surface.  1, record 6, French, - effet%20retardateur%20des%20oceans
