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·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。

3·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。

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·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。

7·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。

8·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。

9·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。

10·Most volcanoes form at the junctions of tectonic plates.

多数火山是在地壳联结点上形成的。
