这一碰撞开始于5亿多年之前，当时印度之下的构造板块冲撞入欧亚板块。(略)。
This collision started more than 50 million years ago, when the tectonic plate beneath India crashed into the Eurasian plate. (Watch how the plates slammed into each other.)
印度尼西亚位于太平洋，欧亚大陆，和澳大利亚构造板块边缘，正因为这样，它频繁被地震袭击。
Indonesia is located on the edges of tectonic plates, specifically the Pacific, Eurasian, and Australian. As such, it is frequently hit by earthquakes.
同天，9.0级的地震及海啸在日本发生。但这两个地方并不处在同一个地壳构造板块上。

幸运的是，很多由相邻的构造板块的相互挤压产生的高等级地震大多分布在人烟稀少的地区。
Fortunately, many of the biggest, known as "megathrust" earthquakes, as one tectonic plate is forced under another, have occurred in sparsely populated areas.
当构造板块移回到海底深处(这些火山的最终喷发就是源于海底深处)时，旧地壳便被摧毁。
Old crust is destroyed as tectonic plates return to the depths from which those volcanoes ultimately draw their fire.
地震学家可能无法准确地预测地震，他们若只是将构造板块的正常而又缓慢的移动做成模型，那就可悲可叹了。
Seismologists may not be able to forecast earthquakes precisely but it would be deplorable if they were to resign themselves to modelling just the regular, gradual movements of tectonic plates.
虽然仔细研究过，但是这些地震还是困惑了科学家们几十年—除少数例外，强地震一般都会发生在构造板块绞合处。
Though intensely studied, the quakes have baffled scientists for decades — with a few exceptions, strong earthquakes occur exclusively where tectonic plates are grinding past one another.
它所要做的全部就是让这一冲击力作用于一个薄弱点，挤垮它，然后使得一个构造板块移动…可能是一英寸。
All it takes is for that wallop to act upon a weak point, crushing it, which then allows a tectonic plate to move... maybe an inch.
澳洲位于一构造板块的中部(而非位于两大板块的边界)。并且，研究现在已深入到此类内部板块构造的地震。
Australia lies in the middle of a tectonic plate (rather than at the boundary between two plates), and research is ongoing into such intra-plate earthquakes.
由于太平洋构造板块及其他几个板块的向西移动，导致其向亚洲板块之下俯冲，从而会在这一带引发大地震和火山活动。
The major earthquakes and active volcanoes occurring there are caused by the westward movement of the Pacific tectonic plate and other plates leading to subduction under Asia.
