Title
Carte physique et profil du canal de la Manche et d’une partie de la Mer du Nord, où se voit l’état actuel des profondeurs de la mer, avec les terreins de France et d’Angleterre, dont les eaux s’écoulent directement dans ces mers, depuis les différentes chaînes de montagnes
Description
Français : Premier géographe du roi et membre de l’Académie des sciences, Philippe Buache est l’un des grands promoteurs de la géographie physique au 18e siècle. Il s’est intéressé tout particulièrement au relief sur lequel il a fondé un système explicatif de la structure du globe terrestre. En 1737, il dresse la première carte bathymétrique de la Manche : s’appuyant sur des mesures obtenues à l’aide de sondages, il relie les points d’égale profondeur pour créer des courbes de niveau marines. Il met ainsi en évidence les variations du relief sous-marin. Afin de permettre au lecteur de mieux les visualiser, Buache réalise également une coupe de la Manche, qui suit une ligne équidistante des côtes anglaises et françaises : celle-ci est reportée sur la carte, avec une série de repères marqués A à G, de manière à établir une correspondance entre les deux figures. La coupe montre que la profondeur de la Manche diminue progressivement d’ouest en est, passant d’environ 70 brasses (environ 115 m) au nord-ouest de l’île d’Ouessant (repère A) à une vingtaine de brasses dans le Pas de Calais (repère F).- Bibliothèque municipale de Lyon, mis en ligne sur Numelyo
