PaleoMap 项目是一项用现代测绘技术来研究古代海洋盆地和大陆板块构造发展演化过程,该网站提供了有关地球850百万年历史的地图,以及计算机影象等教学材料。 该网站还介绍了地球发展史、气候发展史和研究项目等相关内容。
Paleomap 一般中译为“古地图”指的是根据板块构造论,表现地质年代的海陆分布格局的地图。但在历史学界"古地图"则指的是现代测绘技术发展起来以前绘制的地图,本站采用全彩古地理图来现实古老的山脉和海岸线、活跃板块边界,以及古气候带的分布图,用户可以通过应用来动态展示研究成功,研究地质的用户不妨看看。
The goal of the PALEOMAP Project is to illustrate the plate tectonic development of the ocean basins and continents, as well as the changing distribution of land and sea during the past 1100 million years.
In theEarth Historysection of this website are full-color paleogeographic maps showing the ancient mountain ranges and shorelines, active plate boundaries, and the extent of paleoclimatic belts.
