This favours impact formation, as zircons transported by mantle plumes would have more profound origins.

这有利于撞击的形成，因为地幔热柱搬运的锆石具有更深的起源。

And a crystal called Zircon is at the heart of this discovery.

这一发现的核心是一种叫做锆石的晶体。

They compared that core with another from Arizona, embedded with zircons.

他们将这块岩心与亚利桑那州一块嵌有锆石的岩心对比。

The team said the crystals contained a mineral called zircon.

研究小组表示，这些晶体中含有一种名为锆石的矿物质。

In that study, researchers examined how many atoms of uranium and lead were contained in the zircon crystals.

在那项研究中，研究人员查锆石晶体中含有多少铀和铅原子。

And that's where a resilient little mineral called zircon comes in.

这就是有弹性的锆石来源。

Heck noted that zircon is a very strong mineral that can " survive the breakdown of rocks during weathering."

出，锆石是一种非常坚固的矿物质，可以“在岩石风化过程中幸存下来”。

The Russian president has said the country's navy will receive hypersonic Zircon cruise missiles within the next few months.

俄罗斯总统表示，该国海军将在未来几个月内收到锆石高超音速巡航导弹。

Zircon starts off as molten magma, the hot lava from volcanoes.

锆石最初是熔岩，火山产生的热熔岩。

The missile is called Zircon, but little information about it is known.

这种导弹被称为“锆石”，但关于它的信息知之甚少。

Zircon may be similar to a hypersonic missile developed with India.

Zircon dating helped scientists figure out that these separate mountain ranges used to be one.

锆石测年帮助科学家确定，这些独立的山脉曾经是连为一体的。

And remember, zircons are also used in radiometric dating.

请记住，锆石也用于辐射 测年。

Analyses of their constituent zircons could well provide valuable supporting evidence that Earth's continents owe their existence to bodies from outer space.

对其构成的锆石的分析很好地提供有价值的佐证，证明地球大陆的存在应归功于来自外太空的天体。

The zircon is believed to have formed when the lunar surface cooled after being in a melting state after the crash.

据信，锆石是在撞击后月球表面熔化后冷却时形成的。

If zircon crystals are hiding in there, inside the rock they formed in.

如果锆石晶体藏匿其中，即它们最初形成的岩石内部。

And zircon is both of those things.

而锆石兼具这两种特性。

There is too much money in palm oil, as well as timber, coal, gold, zircon and the forest's other vegetable and mineral riches.

棕榈油有很大的价值, 这森林中的木材、煤炭、黄金、锆石、其他蔬菜和丰富的矿产也是如此。

You can think of zircon kinda like an hourglass.
