W. H. Emmons a défini six niveaux dans les systèmes filoniens relatifs à un batholite quelconque. Suivant que l'érosion est descendue plus ou moins bas, on observe en affleurements les dispositions caractéristiques de l'un ou l'autre de ces niveaux. En voici l'énumération de haut en bas. Niveau cryptobatholitique [...] Niveau akrobatholitique [...] Niveau épibatholitique [...] Niveau embatholitique : le batholite est largement dégagé, mais il subsiste des résidus du toit. C'est dans ceux-ci qu'apparaissent les gisements, surtout auprès des plus petits affleurements de la roche éruptive. Niveau endobatholitique [...] Niveau hypobatholitique [...] 1, record 1, French, - niveau%20embatholitique

The electrical energy developed during 1 hour by a power of 1 watt, equal to 3,600 joules. 7, record 3, English, - watt%2Dhour
Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 CONT
The watt-hour (symbol W·h or Wh) is a unit of energy. It is most commonly used on household electricity meters in the form of the kilowatt-hour (kW·h or kWh), which is 1,000 watt-hours. It is not used in the International System of Units (SI), despite being based on the watt, as the hour is not a SI unit. The SI unit of energy is the joule (J), equal to one watt-second. It is, however, a commonly used unit, especially for measuring electric energy. 1 watt-hour is equivalent to 3,600 joules (1 W x 3600 s), the joule being the canonical SI unit of energy. Thus a kilowatt-hour is 3,600,000 joules or 3.6 megajoules. 3, record 3, English, - watt%2Dhour
