Some geologists wondered whether the absence of friction-generated heat could be explained by the kinds of rock composing the fault.

一些地质学家想知道，是否可以用构成断层的岩石来解释没有摩擦产生的热量。

Prior to 1965 geologists assumed that the two giant rock plates meeting at the San Andreas Fault generate heat through friction as they grind past each otherd.

1965年以前，地质学家认为，两个巨大的岩石板块在圣安德烈亚斯断层上相遇，通过摩擦产生热量。

Under normal conditions, rocks composed of clay produce far less friction than do other rock types.

在正常情况下，由粘土组成的岩石产生的摩擦要比其他类型的岩石小得多。

For every company that fails for business reasons, ten more fail because like so many rock bands, they are overwhelmed by the friction of conflicting agendas, personal animosities, and pervasive mistrust.
