Summary

Description
English: Map of world geologic provinces
 
Shield
 
Platform
 
Phanerozoic orogen
 
Foreland or intracratonic Basin
 
Large igneous province
 
Extended continental crust
Age of Oceanic crust:
 
0–20 Ma
 
20–65 Ma
 
>65 Ma
Important note: These geologic province map renders only features approximately 150 km across and greater due to the fact that the resolution of the maps should be consistent with the resolution of the seismic refraction data. For example, the young uplifted blocks of the Variscan Orogen in Central and Western Europe such as the Rhenish Massif or the Massif Central are not depicted as ‘orogens’ but as part of the ‘extended continental crust’ in the western half of Europe.

Deutsch: Karte der geologischen Provinzen der Erde.
 
Präkambrische Schilde
 
Kontinentale Plattformen
 
Phanerozoische Orogene
 
Vorland- oder „intrakratonisches“ Becken
 
Magmatische Großprovinzen
 
Gedehnte kontinentale Kruste
Alter der ozeanischen Kruste:
 
0–20 Ma
 
20–65 Ma
 
>65 Ma
Hinweis: Diese Karte führt nur Einheiten, deren Ausbissfläche einen Durchmesser von mindestens 150 km besitzt. Beispielsweise sind die jung herausgehobenen Schollen des Variszischen Orogens in Mittel- und Westeuropa, wie z.B. die Rheinische Masse oder das französische Zentralmassiv, nicht als „phanerozoische Orogene“, sondern als Teil der „gedehnten kontinentalen Kruste“ in der Westhälfte Europas dargestellt.

< Σημαντική σημείωση: Αυτός ο γεωλογικός χάρτης αποδίδει μόνο δομές μεγέθους 150 χλμ. και πάνω λόγω του ότι η ανάλυση των χαρτών πρέπει να είναι συνεπής με την ανάλυση των σεισμικών δεδομένων διάθλασης.

Nota important: Aquests mapes de regions geològiques només representen característiques d'aproximadament 150 km de diàmetre i més a causa del fet que la resolució dels mapes hauria de ser coherent amb la resolució de les dades de refracció sísmica. Per exemple, els blocs joves aixecats de l'Orogenia herciniana a l'Europa central i occidental, com el massís renà o el massís central, no es representen com a "orògens", sinó com a part de l'"escorça continental estesa" a la meitat occidental d'Europa.
