the general region has been keeping some seismologists awake at night because it also contains a section of the subduction zone that has been building strain for more than 200 years.
这个区域向来是地震学家非常担心的地区,因为它是潜没地带的一部分,而且200多年来一直在积聚压力。
because hamaoka sits directly over the subduction zone near the junction of two plates, and is overdue for a major earthquake, it is considered to be the most dangerous nuclear power plant in japan.
由于滨冈核电站直接坐落在两个板块碰撞的俯沖带上,而且大地震的间隔时间已经超过预期的周期,因此,被认为是日本最具危险的核电站。
this is called a subduction zone .
这被称为俯沖带(subduction zone)。
some researchers say they suspect that the series of somewhat weaker quakes represents the subduction zone readjusting itself to changes in stress patterns established by the ’04 quake.
有人认为这一系列相对来说规模较小的地震是潜没地带为适应04年地震之后形成的应力分布模式自身调节的结果。 但是一些研究人员却对此持怀疑态度。
the race is on for the next human return to the deepest point in the ocean: the subduction zone of the pacific's mariana trench.
有个比赛正在为选出下一个即将回到大海最深处的人上演:太平洋的马里亚纳海沟的潜没区域。
the earthquakes simulated by the model on the sumatra subduction zone have characteristics of quasi-cycle in time and migration in space. the earthquake ruptures propagate upward from bottom.
模拟的苏门答腊俯沖带上的大地震在时间上有準周期性,空间上有迁移特征,破裂由深部向浅部进行;
「this particular subduction zone has produced very damaging earthquakes throughout its history, 」 said randy baldwin, a geophysicist with the u.s. geological survey (usgs).
「在其整个历史中,这个特殊的俯沖带已经产生过破坏性非常大的地震。」美国地质勘探局的地球物理学家兰迪·鲍尔温说。
volcanism at sabancaya is fueled by magma generated at the subduction zone between the nazca and south american tectonic plates.
补充到萨班卡亚火山的巖浆生成于纳斯卡板块与南美洲板块之间的俯沖区域中。
moreover, the geometry of the subduction zone has much influence on the location of the large event.
此外,俯沖带的几何特征对大地震的震源位置有很大的影响。
it indicates that the eclogites may, firstly, ascend slowly along the subduction zone to a shallow level, resulting in a p-t path similar to the prograde path;
它表明榴辉巖回返时首先沿俯沖带缓慢上升到较浅部位,出现与进变质过程相似的p-t轨迹;
i think a lot of scientists worldwide wondered whether this particular subduction zone — the japan trench, the southern part — could ever produce a great earthquake.
我想世界上有很多科学家都想知道这一俯沖带——日本海沟南部——是否会发生一次大型地震。
this is called a subduction zone when one plate subducts beneath another.
当一个板块向另一个板块下俯沖时,那里就被称为俯沖带。
in the past few centuries, the subduction zone off the coast of sendai has generated earthquakes of up to magnitude 8 or so, but nothing as powerful as a 9, which releases 30 times more energy.
在过去的几个世纪里,仙台沿海地区的俯沖带发生的地震震级最大才达到8级,从未达到过9级,而这次地震释放的能量是8级地震的30倍。
‘the pacific northwest - what we call the cascadia subduction zone - has the same kind of characteristics as the fault beneath japan, ’ seismologist james gaherty told cbs.
哥伦比亚大学雷蒙德研究中心的地震学家jamesgaherty告诉cbs记者说:“太平洋的东北部地区被我们称为‘卡迪亚断层带’。 此处的断层结构与日本地表下的断层是同一种。
similarly, any pushing force great enough to buckle a plate and form a new trench and subduction zone would certainly form one immediately adjacent to an existing spreading center.
同样,任何大得足以使板块发作挠曲并构成一个新的海沟和爬升带的推力,也当然会很快在一个现有扩展中间左近构成海沟和爬升带。
