Record number: 2, Textual support number: 2 OBS
Les termes «substratum rocheux» et «roche en place», s'ils traduisent tous les deux le terme anglais «bedrock», sont employés dans des contextes différents. «Substratum rocheux» désigne la roche sur laquelle repose une formation géologique ou un dépôt donné, tandis que «roche en place» est un terme général désignant une formation rocheuse quelconque recouverte ou non de sédiments ou d'une autre formation. P. ex., un affleurement peut être constitué de roche en place. 16, record 2, French, - substratum
