            <gco:CharacterString>The map displays bedrock formations at or near the surface of the land, on the sea floor above the continental crust that forms the Canadian landmass, and oceanic crust surrounding the landmass. The bedrock units are grouped and coloured according to geological age and composition. The colours of offshore units and oceanic crust are paler and more generalized than those on land, although the constituent units offshore are still easily discernible from their dashed boundaries. This colour design, coupled with the use of a white buffer zone at the coast allows the coastline of Canada to be readily distinguished and still show the grand geological architecture of the Canadian landmass.

The map also shows major faults that have disrupted the Earth's crust, onshore and offshore, and a variety of special geological features such as kimberlite pipes, which locally contain diamonds, impact structures suspected to have been caused by meteorites, and extinct and active spreading centres in the surrounding oceans.</gco:CharacterString>

Les unités du substratum rocheux sont regroupées et colorées selon l'âge géologique et la composition. Les couleurs des unités marines et de la croûte océanique sont d'un ton plus pâle que celui des unités terrestres et elles sont plus générales, bien que les unités constituantes sous-marines soient faciles à discerner grâce à leurs limites en tireté. Ce codage en couleur, de même que l'emploi d'un liséré en blanc, le long du littoral, permet de distinguer facilement le trait de côte tout en montrant la majestueuse architecture géologique de la masse continentale du Canada.

La carte montre également les grandes failles de la croûte terrestre, tant à terre qu'en mer, ainsi que diverses caractéristiques géologiques spéciales telles que les pipes kimberlitiques, localement diamantifères, les structures d'impact, que l'on soupçonne avoir été causées par des météorites, de même que les centres actifs et inactifs d'expansion dans les océans limitrophes.</gmd:LocalisedCharacterString>

            <gco:CharacterString>The Geological Map of Canada has many uses, from an educational tool for teaching the geology of Canada to a template from which other national thematic maps can be derived. Examples of such thematic maps include: a tectonic map depicting the geological building blocks and related structures (faults and folds) that resulted in the assembly of the Canadian landmass and a metallogenic map showing the distribution and nature of important mineral deposits and their genetic relationships to their host geological formations. The new Geological Map of Canada is also the framework against which other national maps and databases, such as the Gravity Map, Magnetic Anomaly Map, Seismicity (earthquake risk), and various kinds of regional geochemical maps may be compared and interpreted. 

The digital version of the new Geological Map of Canada opens up new frontiers for learning about Canada and the great wealth and potential of its landmass and offshore regions. Not only will it provide the opportunity for geological patterns and related geological relationships to be studied at the scale of the Canadian landmass, but it will form the foundation for the digital national geoscience information base.</gco:CharacterString>

C'est un moyen didactique indispensable à l'enseignement de la géologie du Canada. Elle servira aussi de modèle à d'autres cartes thématiques nationales, par exemple une carte tectonique décrivant les motifs structuraux et les structures géologiques connexes (failles et plis) dont l'assemblage a constitué la masse continentale du Canada, et une carte métallogénique montrant la répartition et la nature des gîtes minéraux et leurs liens génétiques avec les formations géologiques hôtes. La nouvelle Carte géologique du Canada est également l'étalon de référence auquel peuvent être comparées et à partir duquel peuvent être interprétées d'autres cartes et bases de données nationales, par exemple la carte gravimétrique, la carte des anomalies magnétiques, la carte de la séismicité (risque de tremblements de terre) et divers types de cartes de la géochimie régionale. 

La version numérique de la nouvelle Carte géologique du Canada nous plonge dans un nouveau monde de connaissances sur le Canada et sur l'immense richesse et le potentiel que recèlent ses régions continentales et extracôtières. Non seulement donne-t-elle la possibilité d'étudier les structures géologiques et les liens qui existent entre elles à l'échelle de la masse continentale du Canada, mais elle jette également les fondations de la base nationale d'informations géoscientifiques numérique.</gmd:LocalisedCharacterString>

                        <gco:CharacterString>Title: General process description -- Description: The map was compiled from published and unpublished maps and reports of the Geological Survey of Canada, Provincial Geological Surveys, the Yukon and Northwest Territories Geology Divisions of Indian and Northern Affairs Canada. Parts of U.S.A. were derived from maps of the United States Geological Survey. The resulting map is more intricate and complex than that published in 1969. This reflects completion of the helicopter-assisted reconnaissance mapping of Canada in 1978 and recent more detailed geological mapping by the Geological Survey of Canada and Provincial and Territorial surveys - much of it under Mineral Development Agreements and through the GSC's National Geoscience Mapping Program (NATMAP). The compilation also used data from extensive gravity surveys by the former Earth Physics Branch, now part of the GSC, and from aeromagnetic surveys. The quality and accuracy of the map has been increased as a result of improved methods of dating geological units, notably from advances in micropaleontology (conodonts and radiolarian) and in radioactive dating methods employing the isotopes of uranium and lead. Altogether the new map has benefitted from a more accurate depiction and correlation of geological formations and better understanding of their natural relations. Similarly, extensive marine geoscience surveys since 1969 by the GSC now allow the geology on land to be extended across the Great Lakes and offshore, and to display the age, structure, and patterns of oceanic crust surrounding Canada.</gco:CharacterString>

Certaines parties des États-Unis s'inspirent de cartes de la United States Geological Survey. La carte est plus complexe que celle de 1969, en raison de l'achèvement de la cartographie de reconnaissance du Canada, faite par hélicoptère, en 1978, et de la cartographie géologique plus détaillée, effectuée dernièrement par la CGC et ses homologues des provinces, la plus grande partie en vertu d'ententes fédérales-provinciales sur l'exploitation minérale et du Programme national de cartographie géoscientifique (CARTNAT). On s'est également servi de données des vastes levés gravimétriques de l'ancienne Direction de la physique du globe, qui fait maintenant partie de la CGC, et de levés aéromagnétiques. La qualité et la précision de la carte ont profité des méthodes améliorées de datation des unités géologiques, particulièrement des avancées de la micropaléontologie (conodontes et radiolaires) ainsi que des méthodes de radiodatation par les isotopes de l'uranium et du plomb. Globalement, la nouvelle carte résulte de la description et de la corrélation plus précises des formations géologiques et de la compréhension meilleure de leurs rapports naturels. De même, les vastes travaux effectués depuis 1969 par la CGC dans les géosciences marines permettent d'élargir le domaine de la géologie terrestre aux Grands Lacs et aux secteurs extracôtiers de même que de montrer l'âge, la structure et la répartition de la croûte océanique limitrophe du Canada.</gmd:LocalisedCharacterString>
