English

Subject field(s)

A same designation could refer to a geographic or a geologic entity, sometimes with a slight variant in spelling or writing. It is important to distinguish one from the other and write each correctly according to the given context.

OBS

Domaine(s)
  • Noms géologiques ou scientifiques
OBS

La règle concernant la majuscule au générique d'un nom géologique demeure imprécise. Habituellement, les noms de divisions stratigraphiques portent la majuscule et les entités de moindre importance n'en portent pas.

OBS

Une même désignation peut se référer à une entité géographique et à une entité géologique, parfois avec une légère variante. Il importe de bien distinguer l'une de l'autre et d'utiliser la graphie correcte selon le contexte.

OBS

Le long du littoral nord-est de l'île Baffin, les côtés du bassin de Baffin deviennent abrupts et à proximité s'étend un plateau étroit, de 30 milles de large au plus, à bord un peu sinueux et profond de 200 mètres. Trois chenaux traversent ce plateau, au large de l'inlet Pond, du golfe Buchan et de la baie Home.
