#alunecare
- Slipping — The act of slipping or sliding and its result; an archaic, popular, or regional form for the modern noun 'alunecare' (landslide / slipping), encountered in old texts or local dialects to describe a loss of stability or a ground cave-in.
- Sliding — The act of slipping, sliding, or gliding and its result; a continuous and smooth movement over a glossy or wet surface. In geomorphology, it designates the natural or accidental displacement of soil or rock masses down an inclined slope, caused by water infiltration or gravity (landslide).
- Landslides — Plural form of the feminine noun 'alunecare'; designates multiple geomorphological phenomena involving the displacement of soil or rock masses down inclined slopes, or repeated mechanical sliding actions.
- Slipped — Having moved smoothly and continuously over a glossy or wet surface; a person who has lost their balance or stability on a slippery surface; (fig.) drifted or deviated from a topic, moral norm, or correct conduct.
- Landslide zone — A rare popular or regional form for 'alunecare' (landslide / slippage); the exact location where a ground collapse, cave-in, or soil displacement occurred on a hillside; (fig.) a scar or mark left by a violently sliding object.
- Argillization — The act of argillizing and its result; a process of exogenous or hydrothermal alteration through which silicate minerals in rocks decompose and transform into clay minerals. In geotechnics, this structural phenomenon represents a degradation of soil or rock quality, leading to increased plasticity, impermeability, and risk of landslides.
- Arthrodia — A type of synovial joint characterized by flat or nearly flat bony surfaces, permitting exclusively limited gliding movements of the skeletal segments, without rotation or major axial flexion. This anatomical connection, found for instance between carpal or tarsal bones, provides remarkable structural resistance and subtle flexibility, absorbing mechanical shocks during locomotion.
- Babbitt metal — An antifriction alloy based on tin, lead, copper, and antimony, widely used in industry for casting or lining the bushings of sleeve bearings. This structural material reduces friction and wear on mechanical components in rotational movement, having the property of melting locally in case of overheating to protect the crankshaft from seizing.
