 Drifting (motorsport) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Drifting refers either to a driving technique utilizing a difference in slip angle between the front and rear tires of a car or to a sport based on the technique; this article deals primarily with the sport.
Many American enthusiasts consider drifting to be an extension of American motorsports such as dirt track racing, however "drifting" in its modern form as a sport unto itself is of Japanese origin.
The clutches on drift cars tend to be very tough ceramic brass button or multiple-plate varieties, for durability, as well as to allow rapid "clutch kick" techniques to upset the balance of the car.

 Herbicide Spray Drift
Herbicide spray drift is the movement of herbicide from the target area to areas where herbicide application was not intended.
Herbicide drift generally is caused by movement of spray droplets or herbicide vapors.
In general, the risk of damaging drift is directly related to the level of susceptibility of the non-target plant to the herbicide being applied.

 Reducing Spray Drift
Drift can also be kept within reasonable amounts by avoiding spraying at times and places when drift potential is high and by using proven drift-reducing procedures and equipment.
Although drift may occur as vaporized active pesticide from the application site, it is usually the physical movement of very small drops from the target area at the time of application.
Drift control additives vary in cost, depending on the rate and formulation, but they are comparatively inexpensive for the amount of control they provide.

 Random Genetic Drift
One aspect of genetic drift is the random nature of transmitting alleles from one generation to the next given that only a fraction of all possible zygotes become mature adults.
Drift is also not confined to diploid genetics; it can explain why we all have mitochondria that are descended from those of a single women who lived hundreds of thousands of years ago.
The result is that the small surviving population is unlikely to be representative of the original population in its genetic makeup - a situation known as the bottleneck effect....

 Drift Session
A throttle induced drift, this is performed when entering a corner and using the accelerator to slip the rear wheels, producing heavy oversteer through the turn.
Main drift technique used in FWD vehicles, however since it does decrease speeds, e-brake drifting is looked down upon during solo (tansou) type drifting competition.
This drifting technique is performed by depressing the clutch pedal on approach or during turn in to a corner.

 Initial D World - Drift Techniques
Drifting is a technique used through a turn to change a vehicles attitude for a proper exit.
Practicing this technique is good for a vehicle that has under or over-steer problems in cornering.
(note: the car that is being used for this style of drift should be a neutral balanced car therefore the over steer will induce itself, if the car plows through any turn this technique will not work).

In drifting there's no such thing as "too much" steering angle, so McClenon had Woodward Machine engineer a special rack and pinion with an appallingly quick 10.0-to-1 ratio and just as much travel as they could stuff in without having the inside of the P255/40ZR17 Falken tires hit the subframe's rails.

 North American Conference on Pesticide Spray Drift Management
Pesticide drift is one of the most contentious issues facing agriculture, especially as traditional farm regions continue to attract new residents from the more urban communities.
The incidence of drift can be reduced through minimized use of pesticides, better understanding of natural factors which invite or control drift, and use of technologies which apply chemicals more accurately.
However, technology is not the only answer; applicators must better understand the concerns of their neighbor while the public needs to be better educated in the real and perceived risks associated with the use of pesticides.

 Developing the theory [This Dynamic Earth, USGS]
Continental drift was hotly debated off and on for decades following Wegener's death before it was largely dismissed as being eccentric, preposterous, and improbable.
However, beginning in the 1950s, a wealth of new evidence emerged to revive the debate about Wegener's provocative ideas and their implications.
The recognition of such a connection helped confirm the seafloor-spreading hypothesis by pin-pointing the zones where Hess had predicted oceanic crust is being generated (along the ridges) and the zones where oceanic lithosphere sinks back into the mantle (beneath the trenches).
