Canoe/kayak slalom began to develop about six years after the first international canoe/kayak federation was founded in 1924. The sport got its start in Switzerland, modeled after alpine skiing. Just as skiers in slalom races have to maneuver through gates, so would canoers/kayakers as their boats travelled down whitewater rapids. 2, record 1, English, - canoe%2Fkayak%20slalom

Le canoë-kayak slalom a commencé à se développer environ six années après la création de la première fédération internationale de canoë-kayak en 1924. Le sport a connu ses débuts en Suisse, à l’image du ski alpin. Tout comme les skieurs doivent négocier des portes dans les courses de slalom, les canoéistes et les kayakistes doivent faire de même alors que leur embarcation descend une rivière dotée de nombreux rapides. 1, record 1, French, - cano%C3%AB%2Dkayak%20slalom

The base of the exosphere is called the critical level of escape because, in the absence of collisions, lighter, faster-moving atoms such as hydrogen and helium may attain velocities that allow them to escape the planet's gravitational field. Most molecules, however, have velocities considerably lower than the escape velocity, so their rate of escape to outer space is quite low. 6, record 7, English, - critical%20level%20of%20escape

L'exosphère est la dernière couche d'atmosphère terrestre qui se situe au-dessus de la thermosphère. Cette couche se définie comme la région de l'atmosphère où les collisions entre particules sont rares, considérées comme négligeables. Les atomes s'y comportent librement, certains s'échappent même dans l'espace. La base de l'exosphère (l'exobase) se situe entre 350 et 800 km d'altitude suivant la température à la thermopause, qui est liée à l'activité solaire. L'hélium et l'hydrogène y sont les éléments prépondérants. Elle s'étend jusqu'à la limite extrême de l'atmosphère, soit 50 000 kilomètres.
