Amorphous graphite - this form [of natural graphite] is the product of coal’s thermal metamorphism. It comes in the form of powder. It is also known as meta-anthracite. 3, record 1, English, - amorphous%20graphite
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
The term "amorphous graphite" is a contradiction in terms. All graphite is crystalline by definition; therefore it is impossible for graphite to be amorphous. However, the term was applied due to the anhedral(no visible crystallinity) morphology of this form of graphite. To the untrained eye a piece of amorphous graphite simply looks amorphous, like a lump of anthracite coal. 4, record 1, English, - amorphous%20graphite

Les termes «équipe de seconde zone» et «équipe de second ordre» peuvent désigner une équipe peu forte dans une ligue qui comprend des équipes plutôt de haut calibre. Une «équipe réduite» s'entend d'une équipe dont le nombre habituel de joueurs est moindre que la norme (ce qui n'est pas le cas dans le sport professionnel puisque les équipes peuvent toujours obtenir du renfort de leurs clubs-écoles), mais surtout d'une équipe amputée de ses bons éléments par les blessures. Les termes «équipe de fortune» et «équipe improvisée» se disent d'équipes formées sur le tas pour le plaisir de l'exercice du sport. 2, record 6, French, - %C3%A9quipe%20de%20seconde%20zone
