1·Earthquakes are caused by two tectonic plates bumping into each other.

地震是由两块地壳构造板块互相碰撞造成的。《牛津词典》

2·Basically, a subduction zone is where two tectonic plates collide.

基本上，俯冲带就是两个地壳构造板块碰撞的地方。

3·So, in recent years, some geologists have used plate tectonic theory to make what they call geopredictions.

因此，近年来，一些地质学家会利用板块构造理论来进行他们所谓的地质预测。

4·Here on Earth, moving tectonic plates are a major geological element, just crucial for the whole surface dynamic, right?

在地球上，移动的构造板块是一个主要的地质元素，对整个地表的动态变化至关重要，对吗？

5·Allopatric speciation can also be brought by the imperceptibly slow but colossal movements of the tectonic plates that make up Earth's surface.

构成地球表面的那些构造板块极其缓慢但剧烈的运动，也可能导致异地物种形成。

6·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，翡翠水晶附近发生地震，全国都有报道。与“寻常”的构造地震不同，这次地震没有吓到动物。

7·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。

8·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。

9·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。

10·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。
