Certain "misplaced" volcanoes far from plate edges result from a second, independent mechanism that cools the deep interior of Earth.

某些远离板块边缘的“错位”火山是由另一种独立机制造成的，这种机制能够使地球内部深处的温度降低。

In addition, both regions reside within the Ring of Fire, which is a zone surrounding the Pacific Ocean where the Pacific tectonic plate and other plates dive beneath other slabs of Earth.

此外，两个地区都驻留在火山圈内，那是环绕太平洋的一个区域。在那里太平洋地壳构造板块和其它板块潜于其它地球板块之下。

This makes carbonate sediments on the floor of the ocean that are subducted back into the Earth though plate tectonics.

Plate tectonics is the area of science that explains why the surface of the Earth changes and how those changes cause earthquakes.

When this happens, one plate moves past the other, suddenly causing the Earth's surface to split.

Unlike on Earth, however, Mars has no plate tectonics, so the Martian layers are flat and not disrupted as they would be on Earth.

The largest earthquakes in the world occur close to plate margins, areas of the Earth's upper layers that are being rammed together or pulled apart.

Three and a half miles high, with no evidence of folding, faulting, or plate tectonics, it was like nothing on Earth.
