Le Groupe de planification binational(GPB) améliorera les ententes canado-américaines concernant principalement la défense contre les menaces venant de la mer qui pèsent sur le continent et l'intervention en cas d’attaque terrestre, le cas échéant. Le GPB renforcera en outre les mesures d’intervention des deux pays en cas de catastrophe naturelle, au moyen d’un appui aux autorités civiles qui sera binational et bien coordonné. Une collaboration plus étroite en vue de partager l'évaluation des menaces, la planification et les exercices aidera à prévenir les attaques et à diminuer leurs conséquences, si elles devaient se produire. 2, record 1, French, - Groupe%20de%20planification%20binational

Prior to the development of plate tectonic theories of crustal evolution and deformation, the Hall-Dana theory of geosynclines and their deformation and uplift to form mountain chains dominated geological thought. Various schemes of pre-orogenic, syn-orogenic and post-orogenic stages of magmatism were proposed as integral parts of this orogenic cycle. 3, record 3, English, - orogenic%20cycle
