Sagging slope, Big Lookout, Bonne Bay, Newfoundland.- Here, a mountainside has been slowly slipping down en masse since the retreat of the glacier that once filled the fjord. The dome of Big Lookout is sliced in half along a line marked by a 100 m cliff. Tension cracks continue to widen, indicating that the sagging or creeping continues today. 2, record 2, English, - sagging%20slope

Affaissement d’un versant du mont Big Lookout, baie Bonne.-Sur cette photographie, on voit un versant de montagne qui s’affaisse lentement depuis le recul du glacier qui remplissait jadis le fjord. Le sommet du mont Big Lookout est scindé en deux le long d’une ligne marquée par une falaise de 100 mètres. Les fissures d’extension continuent de s’élargir, ce qui indique que l'affaissement, ou la reptation, se poursuit de nos jours. 2, record 2, French, - versant%20affaiss%C3%A9

Le paysage de l’Outaouais est marqué par de nombreuses collines de basses altitudes qui font partie du Bouclier canadien. Le bouclier est la région physiographique de structure rocheuse la plus étendue au Canada.

[...] si le sonar latéral permet une bonne reconnaissance des structures rocheuses et sédimentaires(champs de mégarides, dunes de sable, rubans sableux...), il ne permet pas une identification précise de la nature des sédiments. Par exemple, l'extrait de sonogramme suivant(444ko) semble montrer un fond rocheux, il s’agit en fait d’un banc de crépidules en Baie du Mont Saint-Michel. 3, record 4, French, - structure%20rocheuse

L’Angleterre s’en sort traditionnellement bien lors des basculements de pôles, à cause de ses structures rocheuses sous-jacentes. Stonehenge en est une preuve, qui a subi des séismes violents mais a pu éviter d’être trop secoué, ce qui a souvent un effet des plus destructeurs sur des structures massives. 4, record 4, French, - structure%20rocheuse
