On Oct. 10, a quake occurred very near the Emerald Crystal and was reported nationally. Unlike "usual" tectonic quakes, it did not scare the animals.

If an ocean floor tectonic plate meets the edge of a continent and they push against each other, the heavier one sinks down and goes under the other one.

如果一个海底构造板块与大陆边缘接触并相互挤压，较重的板块下沉到另一个的下面。

The explanation may be in Earth's mantle, the layer of rock underlying the tectonic plates and extending down over 1,800 miles to the outer edge of Earth's iron core.

解释可能是在地球的地幔中，这是在构造板块下面的岩石层，向下延伸超过1800英里到地球铁芯的外边缘。

Earth's surface is not made up of a single sheet of rock that forms a crust but rather a number of "tectonic plates" that fit closely, like the pieces of a giant jigsaw puzzle.

地球表面并不是由构成地壳的单块岩石构成，而是许多紧密相连的“构造板块”，像一块巨大的拼图。

Venus has mostly shield volcanoes, and they are randomly scattered, that indicates that Venus does not have moving tectonic plates, and that's a big difference compared to Earth.

金星上大部分是盾状火山，而且它们是随机分布的，这表明金星没有移动的构造板块，这一点与地球有很大的不同。

Geologic evidence shows that southern African has been slowly rising for the past 100 million years, yet it has not experienced a tectonic collision for nearly 400 million years.

地质证据显示，非洲南部的板块在过去的1亿年里一直在缓慢地上升，然而它在近4亿年里没有经历过一次构造碰撞。

Instead of normal planets whose composition could be predicted by theory, the planets populating our solar system are unique individuals whose chemical and tectonic identities were create.

我们的太阳系中的行星不是那些可以通过理论预测其组成的普通行星，而是独特的个体，它们的化学和构造特征都是由它们创造的。

Now these tectonic plates support the continents and oceans.

现在这些地壳板块支撑着大陆和海洋。

Over time, the tectonic plates move and shift, which moves the continents and the ocean floors too.

随着时间的推移，地壳板块移动，同时也移动了大陆和海底。

Instead, they are other volcano types, like strata volcanoes, for example, which are a result of the tectonic plate movement.

相反，它们是其他类型的火山，比如地层火山，是板块运动的结果。

Wilson suggested that the long chain of volcanoes stretching northwest from Hawaii is simply the surface expression of a long-lived volcanic source located beneath the tectonic plate in the mantle.

威尔逊认为，夏威夷向西北延伸的火山长链只是一个长期存于板块下、地幔中的火山源在板块表面的表现。

The data of geology is reported and used to discuss on petrogenic type and tectonic implication.

通过地质资料的报道，探讨了该区的成岩类型和构造意义。

Most volcanoes form at the junctions of tectonic plates.

多数火山是在地壳联结点上形成的。

As that pressure builds, tectonic tremors can agitate Chambers.

当这种压力形成时，构造震动会引起岩浆室的激荡。

As economic tectonic plates have shifted, paradigms must shift too.

随着经济构造板块的漂移，经济模式也必须改变。

The tectonic shift between developed and emerging markets continued.

发达市场和新兴市场的结构转换将会持续。

This is good news: it means tectonic stresses aren't building up in the region.

这是一个好消息：这意味着大地构造应力并没有在这一地区聚积。

Are the earthquakes shifting other tectonic plates and causes more earthquakes?

地震会不会转移至其他的地壳版块从而引起更多的地震？

Tehran sits where two tectonic plates clash and is criss-crossed by fault lines.

德黑兰地处两大板块交接，断层线交叉地。

There is no denying that the entire media industry is grappling with tectonic change.

不可否认，整个媒体业都正在努力适应这种结构上的变化。

印尼位于板块漂移范围内，震灾是家常便饭。

Such quakes occur after tectonic stresses build up for years and the plates abruptly slip.

此类地震在构造的压力长年累积、板块突然滑动时发生。
