There are numerous sections capped with iron crusts(cuirasses)... The explanation still persists that the tabular crusts at the top of the profiles were formed by the vertical rise of the iron sesquioxides and by hardening under the rays of sun. In reality, the iron oxides do not migrate vertically from the bottom to the top of the profiles, and the crust is not formed at the soil-atmosphere interface. The latter was exposed by erosion after it has developed within a pedological profile under a forest landscape. 3, record 4, English, - cuirasse

All magnetic objects produce invisible lines of force that extend between the poles of the object. An easy way to visualize this is to spread iron filings on a sheet of paper and place a bar magnet under the paper. The iron filings will arrange themselves around the magnet and along the magnetic field lines. In the simplest terms, Earth can be thought of as a dipole(2-pole) magnet. Magnetic field lines radiate between Earth's north and south magnetic poles just as they do between the poles of a bar magnet. Charged particles become trapped on these field lines(just as the iron filings are trapped), forming the magnetosphere. Earth's magnetic field lines are not as symmetrical as those of the bar magnet. The impact of the solar wind causes the lines facing sunward to compress, while the field lines facing away from the Sun stream back to form Earth's magnetotail. The magnetosphere extends into the vacuum of space from approximately 80 to 60, 000 kilometers(50 to 37, 280 miles) on the side toward the Sun, and trails out more than 300, 000 kilometers(186, 500 miles) away from the Sun. 4, record 13, English, - Earth%26rsquo%3Bs%20magnetic%20field

Le champ magnétique terrestre trouve son origine au centre de la Terre où les mouvements rapides du magma riche en fer et en nickel transforment la Terre en un immense aimant. En surface ; le champ magnétique varie d'un lieu à l'autre. Cette variation est à l'origine des mouvements de l'aiguille de la boussole lorsque l'on se déplace. Elle permet également à certains animaux, comme les pigeons, de s'orienter. Le champ magnétique varie aussi dans le temps. Les variations dans le temps sont dues à des changements à l'intérieur de la Terre mais aussi à des courants électriques dans la haute atmosphère. Des variations séculaires, associées aux fluctuations dans le noyau de la Terre, sont responsables du déplacement du pôle magnétique nord à travers l'Arctique. Les variations dues à des courants électriques dans la partie ionisée de l'atmosphère (l'ionosphère) sont elles quotidiennes et plus ou moins périodiques. Le champ magnétique peut également varier rapidement lorsque la magnétosphère est perturbée par des changements dans l'activité solaire (orage magnétique). Ces perturbations de notre cavité protectrice sont irrégulières et imprévisibles [...] 3, record 13, French, - champ%20magn%C3%A9tique%20terrestre

A halo occurs when the light from the sun or the moon is refracted and reflected by ice crystals in the atmosphere... Under certain circumstances a second, or outer, halo appears, which is fainter than the inner one. At times white or colored luminous arcs are also seen lying somewhat parallel to the horizon and passing through the source of light, called mock suns, parhelia, or sun dogs for the sun, and paraselenae for the moon. A single mock sun, the anthelion, directly opposite the sun, may be added. 4, record 15, English, - mock%20sun

A sundog is a brightly colored spot that appears to the right or left of the sun. Sundogs form when the sun is near the horizon and the sunlight is refracted (bent) by hexagonal, plate-like ice crystals floating horizontally in the air. Sundogs are brightest in winter because ice crystals are more common, but can be seen at any time. Sundogs are also known as mock suns or parhelia. 2, record 15, English, - mock%20sun

A batch type machine which separates sugar and molasses by centrifugal action. Liquid molasses passes through very small holes of the screen fixed on periphery, while sugar crystals bigger than the holes of the screen, cannot pass through it. Hence sugar is retained inside the screen. These sugar crystals are washed by water or steam sprinkling. Sugar is then dried under the sun and molasses is reboiled for jaggery making. 3, record 16, English, - centrifugal%20machine
