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

This datum has its origin in Tokyo. It is defined in terms of the Bessel ellipsoid and oriented by means of a single astronomic station. By means of triangulation ties through Korea, the Japanese datum is connected with the Manchurian datum. Unfortunately, Tokyo is situated on a steep geoid slope and the single-station orientation has resulted in large systematic geoid separations as the system is extended from its initial point. 2, record 4, English, - Tokyo%20datum

... a continually growing or expanding incised meander formed during a single cycle of erosion by the enlargement or accentuation of an initial minor sinuosity while the stream was actively downcutting; a meander that "grows in place". It exhibits a pronounced asymmetric cross profile(a well-developed, steep undercut slope on the outside of the meander, a gentle slip-off slope on the inside) and is produced when the rate of downcutting is slow enough to afford time for lateral erosion. 1, record 5, English, - ingrown%20meander
