A mole is a massive structure, usually of stone, used as a pier, breakwater, or a causeway separating two bodies of water. The word comes from Middle French mole, ultimately from Latin mōlēs, meaning a large mass, especially of rock; it has the same root as molecule and mole, the chemical unit of measurement. A mole may have a wooden structure built on top of it that resembles a wooden pier. The defining feature of a mole, however, is that water cannot freely flow underneath it, unlike a true pier. The oldest known mole is at Wadi al-Jarf, an ancient Egyptian harbor complex on the Red Sea, constructed ca. 2500 BCE.

  • Moleo estas rekta aŭ kurba digo-forma konstruaĵo el ŝtono aŭ ligno, kiu etendiĝas en lagon aŭ maron, kutime solide konstruita kaj apogita sur la fundo. Ĝi servas kiel ĝeto (ondorompaĵo), kaj ĝia (kontraŭ maro kaj vento) protektita flanko (leo) ofte servas kiel por boatoj kaj ŝipoj. Moleoj povas esti plurcent metrojn longaj, ofte ili estas parto de haveno. Piero similas al moleo, sed ne havas ĝetan funkcion. (eo)

  • Um molhe é uma obra marítima de engenharia hidráulica que consiste numa estrutura costeira semelhante a um pontão, ou estrutura alongada que é introduzida nos mares ou oceanos, apoiada no leito submarino pelo peso próprio das pedras ou dos blocos de concretos especiais (tetrápodes ou outros), emergindo da superfície aquática. É, portanto, uma longa e estreita estrutura que se estende em direção ao mar. (pt)

  • Un môle est un ouvrage construit à l'entrée d'un port et destiné à le protéger des vagues trop fortes. Il est formé d'un amas de roches entassés plus ou moins régulièrement qui peut être maçonné pour servir de quai. Le môle se situe à l’extrémité de la jetée afin de protéger l’entrée d’un port tel un brise-lames contre la mer ou pour diviser un bassin en darses. Les principales fonctions d'un môle sont l'accostage et la protection contre les vagues. * Différentes illustrations de môles * Môle de Saint-Malo, à pleine mer. * Môle de Saint-Malo, à basse mer. * (fr)
  • Il molo è una costruzione situata su un oceano, mare, lago o fiume, che si protende dalla terraferma verso lo specchio acqueo, la cui funzione principale è quella di fungere da ormeggio alle imbarcazioni per consentire la discesa sulla terraferma dei passeggeri e/o lo scarico delle merci al riparo del moto ondoso.
