The general structural concordance of warped strata lying above a limestone reef or other hard core to the surface of that reef or core, due either to initial dip or to differential compaction, or to both. 2, record 2, English, - draping
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 CONT
This channel sand is encased in shale (above and below) and due to differential compaction,there is considerable draping of sediments above the sand body. The draping of overlying sediments causes microfracturing through these rocks, and thereby enhances vertical migration of hydrocarbons and fluids, which in turn cause diagenetic changes in the overlying rocks as demonstrated by the resistivity anomaly over this oil field. 3, record 2, English, - draping

Pour expliquer la position des minéralisations sur les flancs de paléotalus on peut [...] invoquer, à la manière des géologues pétroliers, des migrations latérales dues à la «compaction différentielle» des sédiments. La compaction des argiles expulserait les eaux connées, enrichies en éléments métalliques, vers des sédiments plus perméables, c'est-à-dire vers leurs équivalents latéraux de paléotalus ou de hauts fonds. 3, record 3, French, - pal%C3%A9otalus

A double beating pulse characterized by two impulses occurring during systole. The initial upstroke rises rapidly and is referred to as the percussion wave. This is followed by a small dip and then a second slower upstroke called the tidal wave. This type of pulse is found in combined aortic regurgitation and stenosis. 2, record 4, English, - bisferiens%20pulse
