- Some eddy, deep in the Earth's crust diverted the volcanic energy elsewhere
地壳喷出的能量漩涡转移到了别处
- and, an entire microworld was extinguished.
整个微观世界也黯然失色
- In places, volcanoes have erupted to build great submarine mountains.
在有的地方,火山喷发后会形成巨大的水下山
- There are thought to be around thirty thousand such volcanoes
据估计海底共有30000座火山
- some, measured from the sea floor, are taller than Everest.
如果从海床开始算 甚至有一些比珠穆朗玛峰还要高
- Sheer cliffs soaring to drowned volcanic peaks.
火山开凿出来的绝壁 一直延伸到山顶
- Powerful currents sweep up the mountains' flanks transporting nutrients from deep water towards the summits.
带着海底养分的强大的洋流与海底山相接 便顺山而上
