Dans le Jura [...], il arrive souvent que la partie la plus élevée d’une assise calcaire rendue discontinue par l'érosion glisse sur les flancs d’un anticlinal, la position originelle des couches étant respectée [...]. M. Lugeon a proposé le terme décoiffement pour caractériser cette structure. Il la distingue ainsi de la «collapse structure» ou «structure d’affaissement» [...] reconnue en premier lieu en Iran par Harrison et Falcon et dont le «Chapeau de Gendarme» est un exemple jurassien. Décoiffement et collapse structure sont des phénomènes tectoniques mineurs qui traduisent dans la morphologie les dernières manifestations de la tectogenèse. 2, record 1, French, - structure%20d%27effondrement

L'étude a démontré que les seins décrivent un mouvement tridimensionnel en forme de huit, allant de haut en bas et d’un côté à l'autre. Un tel mouvement non contrôlé sur une poitrine de grosseur moyenne(36C) pesant environ 300 grammes inflige une tension importante sur la structure fragile soutenant les seins, soit la peau et les tissus conjonctifs appelés ligaments de Cooper. [...] Le mouvement des seins occasionne des effets temporaires comme la douleur et l'inconfort, mais aussi l'étirement du ligament de Cooper, qui, à la longue, mène à un affaissement irréversible de la poitrine. 1, record 2, French, - ligament%20de%20Cooper
