2. Flood opening - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flood_opening

   Most regulatory authorities in the United States that offer requirements for flood openings define two major classes of opening: [1] engineered, and non-engineered. The requirements for non-engineered openings are typically stricter, defining necessary characteristics for aspects ranging from overall size of each opening, to allowable screening or other coverage options, to number and ...

3. Vent (submarine) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vent_(submarine)

   The vents of the Redoutable are under the casing. The square openings in the casing are limber holes to facilitate draining the superstructure. In submarine technology a vent is a valve fitted to the top of a submarine's ballast tanks to let air escape from the top of the ballast tank and be replaced by water entering through the opening(s) called "flood ports" or "floods" at the bottom of the ...

4. Flood management - Wikipedia

   The map to the right shows a flood map for the City of York, including the floodplain for a 1 in 100-year flood (dark blue), the predicted floodplain for a 1 in 1000 year flood (light blue) and low-lying areas in need of flood defence (purple). The most sustainable way of reducing risk is to prevent further development in flood-prone areas and ...

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underfloor_air_distribution

   The most common UFAD configuration consists of a central air handling unit delivering air through a pressurized plenum and into the space through floor diffusers. Other approaches may incorporate fan powered terminal units at the outlets, underfloor ducts, desktop vents or connections to Personal Environmental Control Systems. [8]

6. Cinder cone - Wikipedia

   A cinder cone (or scoria cone [1]) is a steep conical hill of loose pyroclastic fragments, such as volcanic clinkers, volcanic ash, or scoria that has been built around a volcanic vent. [2] [3] The pyroclastic fragments are formed by explosive eruptions or lava fountains from a single, typically cylindrical, vent.

7. Fissure vent - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fissure_vent

   A fissure vent, also known as a volcanic fissure, eruption fissure or simply a fissure, is a linear volcanic vent through which lava erupts, usually without any explosive activity. The vent is often a few metres wide and may be many kilometres long. Fissure vents can cause large flood basalts which run first in lava channels and later in lava ...

   They were able to take an accurate temperature reading of the active vent (the previous dive's thermometer had melted) and recorded a temperature of 350 °C (623 K; 662 °F). [11] They continued searching for more vents along the East Pacific Rise between 1980 and 1982. [citation needed]
