| 1. | Silent earthquakes are only just beginning to enter the public lexicon
无声地震才刚开始要成为众所周知的语汇。 |
| 2. | Fortunately , the discovery of silent earthquakes is revealing more good news than bad
值得庆幸的是，无声地震的发现亦未尝不是件好事儿。 |
| 3. | Occurrences of silent earthquakes are also being reported in areas where flank failure is not an issue
在一些未有边坡崩坍问题的地区，也有无声地震的发生。 |
| 4. | The chances of catastrophic flank failure are slim , and the instruments that record silent earthquakes might make early warnings possible
灾难性边坡崩坍发生的机率其实很低，而记录无声地震的仪器也使及早发出预警成为可能。 |
| 5. | Discovering the silent earthquake on kilauea suggests that the volcano ' s south flank is on the move ? perhaps on its way to eventual obliteration
奇劳亚火山发生无声地震一事，暗示著火山的南侧正在移动或许，它正通往最终毁灭的道路。 |
| 6. | Nine days before the most recent silent earthquake on kilauea , a torrential rainstorm dropped nearly a meter of water on the volcano in less than 36 hours
就在奇劳亚火山最近一次发生无声地震的九天前，一阵猛烈的暴风雨在36小时之内让火山地区累积了将近一公尺的雨量。 |
| 7. | In the best case , the acceleration would occur in fits and starts , in a cascade of silent earthquakes slowly escalating into regular earthquakes , and then on to catastrophe
反之，最佳的情况是，加速作用会间歇性发生，以一连串无声地震的型式慢慢增长成一般地震，然后演变成一场大灾难。 |
| 8. | The silent earthquakes may then take place when a batch of fluid from the slab is working its way up ? as the fluid passes , it will unclamp the fault zone a little bit , perhaps allowing some slow slip
这是因为当水通过断层带的片刻，会微微地摇撼一下断层带，这或许就是引发轻微滑动的原因。 |
| 9. | The existence of silent earthquakes gives scientists a completely new angle on the slip process by permitting the detailed study of fault zones through every stage of their movement
然而，无声地震的存在却提供科学家一个全新的角度，来看待断层滑动的过程，让他们对断层带运动的每个阶段做更仔细的研究。 |
| 10. | Kilauea ' s network of more than 20 gps stations , for example , has already revealed that the volcano experiences creep , silent earthquakes as well as large , destructive typical earthquakes
举例来说，涵盖了20多个gps接收站的奇劳亚火山接收网，就曾记录到潜移、无声地震，以及大规模具有破坏性的典型地震。 |
