Les talus. [...] Leur pente peut être plus ou moins prononcée. Si un angle de pente important est souvent nécessaire pour parvenir aux profils satisfaisant les impératifs d’aménagement du terrain, il est cependant limité par des considérations techniques de terrassement. 3, record 1, French, - angle%20de%20pente

A slide resulting from internal deformation leading to failure of a hard rock, jointed, blocky mass. It is believed that failure is initiated by the concentration of stress on corners of the individual blocks bounded by joint planes and that, when a general breakdown has occurred, a flow of blocks and pulverized material to the bottom of the slope occurs. 1, record 3, English, - block%20flow%20slide
