地震物理学，即对地震的科学研究，与化学、物理学或地质学相比较，它是一个年轻的学科。
它由几十个来自地震学、地质学、测地学、古地震学、地震物理学以及地震工程学等多个领域的首席科学家研究和开发。
It was developed and reviewed by dozens of leading scientific experts from the fields of seismology, geology, geodesy, paleoseismology, earthquake physics and earthquake engineering.
但是在此之前，地球物理学者们认为，这种俯冲带大地震仅仅在年轻的海洋地壳挤入地幔处才可能发生。
But geophysicists had thought that great subduction-zone earthquakes happened only where younger oceanic crust scrapes its way into the mantle.
地球物理学家埃米尔。欧卡尔认为智利地震产生的海啸其实真的不算小。
Geophysicist Emile Okal agreed that the the tsunami spawned by the Chile earthquake wasn't really all that small.
