That island nation straddles the mid-Atlantic ridge, a boundary between two of Earth's crustal plates which are drifting apart.

这个岛国横跨大西洋中脊，这是地球两大板块漂移交界处的分界线。

Later, after a long period of crustal movement, the strata rose, and the sandstone was exposed on the surface.

后来经过漫长的地壳运动，地层上升，砂岩露出地表。

This idea that the Earth cooked the Moon and formed the crustal anomaly is pretty new, and is still being argued over.

这种地球塑造了月球，导致月亮的不正常形成的观点还比较新，仍然有不少争议。

As you can see, the lava cooling on the surface and forming crustal plates. It's fascinating science happening right in front of our eyes.

正如所到的，熔岩在地表冷却并形成地壳板块。神奇的科现象就在我们眼前发。

The water evaporates and the salts are left behind, creating a white crustal layer that prevents air and water from reaching the underlying soil.

水蒸发, 盐分被留下, 形成白色地壳层, 阻止空气和水到达下面的土壤。

The hope was to lower a drill through 14,000 feet of Pacific Ocean water off the coast of Mexico and drill some 17,000 feet through relatively thin crustal rock.

他们希望把钻头伸进墨西哥近海4000多米深的太平洋海水，然后再往下钻5000多米，穿透比较薄的地壳岩石。

Due to geological processes such as crustal movement, weathering, and rain erosion, a wonder of stone forest landforms mainly composed of yellow sandy conglomerate with various shapes was formed.

由于地壳运动、风化、雨蚀等地质作用，形成了以黄色砂砾岩为主，造型千姿百态的石林地貌奇观。

The idea was...if there was some other body there and it finally crashes into the Earth, it blows off all this crustal material from the Earth...As well as from the impacter itself.

这个概念是...如果那里有一些其它的物体，并且最终撞击地球，将从地球撞出这所有的地壳物质...同样也有撞击者自身。
