Nazca Plate

基本解釋

This huge jolt happened as the Nazca plate moved down and landward below the South American plate.
這次巨大的搖晃發(fā)生在納斯卡板塊下移，向南美板塊下的近陸移動(dòng)。
Clearly, this puts S America pushing over the Nazca Plate to her west, which is occurring now and causing quakes all up and down the Andes.
很明顯，這樣會(huì)使南美版塊在納斯卡板塊上面被推動(dòng)，并跑到西面，而現(xiàn)在這正在上演著，在安第斯山脈處引起了此起彼伏的地震。

By measuring the slow rising and falling of the ground as the inexorable collision of the Nazca plate squeezed the coast, they could calculate how fast strain was actually building.
通過(guò)測(cè)量因納斯卡板塊擠壓海岸發(fā)生碰撞造成的地面的緩慢上升與下降，他們能夠估算壓力的實(shí)際聚集速度。
