Such quakes occur after tectonic stresses build up for years and the plates abruptly slip.(此類地震在構(gòu)造的壓力長(zhǎng)年累積、板塊突然滑動(dòng)時(shí)發(fā)生。)

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.(威爾遜認(rèn)為，夏威夷向西北延伸的火山長(zhǎng)鏈只是一個(gè)長(zhǎng)期存于板塊下、地幔中的火山源在板塊表面的表現(xiàn)。)

So, in recent years, some geologists have used plate tectonic theory to make what they call geopredictions.(因此，近年來(lái)，一些地質(zhì)學(xué)家會(huì)利用板塊構(gòu)造理論來(lái)進(jìn)行他們所謂的地質(zhì)預(yù)測(cè)。)

Are the earthquakes shifting other tectonic plates and causes more earthquakes?(地震會(huì)不會(huì)轉(zhuǎn)移至其他的地殼版塊從而引起更多的地震？)

Now these tectonic plates support the continents and oceans.(現(xiàn)在這些地殼板塊支撐著大陸和海洋。)

There is no denying that the entire media industry is grappling with tectonic change.(不可否認(rèn)，整個(gè)媒體業(yè)都正在努力適應(yīng)這種結(jié)構(gòu)上的變化。)

As that pressure builds, tectonic tremors can agitate Chambers.(當(dāng)這種壓力形成時(shí)，構(gòu)造震動(dòng)會(huì)引起巖漿室的激蕩。)

Earthquakes are caused by two tectonic plates bumping into each other.(地震是由兩塊地殼構(gòu)造板塊互相碰撞造成的。)

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.(10月10日，翡翠水晶附近發(fā)生地震，全國(guó)都有報(bào)道。與“尋常”的構(gòu)造地震不同，這次地震沒(méi)有嚇到動(dòng)物。)

Tehran sits where two tectonic plates clash and is criss-crossed by fault lines.(德黑蘭地處兩大板塊交接，斷層線交叉地。)
