看好多人求翻译,我粗略的翻译了下,其实就是将火山形成的两种原理,翻译的太快肯定好多错的地方,而且好多专业的东西我也没查,大家讲究了吧
Earth’s surface consists of rigid
plates that are constantly shifting and
jostling one another.   late movements 地球的表面由许多坚硬的板块所构成,这些板块持续的移动并互相冲撞。

that lies between Earth’s crust and its
metallic core. Although the hot rock of板块的运动是地幔的运动的表面表现,地幔是存在于地壳和金属地核之间的厚的岩石的壳。
the mantle is a solid, under the tre-
mendous pressure of the crust and
(10) overlying rock of the mantle, it flows like
a viscous liquid. The mantle’s motions,尽管在地幔中的热的岩石是固体的,在地壳和地幔中的岩石
的巨大压力下,使得地幔象一种粘性液体在流动。

The surface mark of an established
