And this process—glaciers grinding rocks, then melting and flushing those nutrients to sea—it's not the first time it's happened.

而冰川研磨岩石将营养物质融化后流入海洋的这一过程并不罕见。

Gathered ice starts flowing under its own immense weight forming a slow-moving frozen river known as a glacier, which grinds the rocks below.

聚集起来的冰在因其巨大的质量开始流动，形成一种缓慢移动的冻流，也就是冰川，冰川打磨其下的岩石。

On most of the planet, glaciers regularly bulldoze away ecosystems and grind up mineral-rich rock, creating new soil perfect for growth but not diversity.

地球上大多数地方，冰川会定期清理生态系统并且磨碎含矿物的岩石，形成新的适宜生长的土壤，但对多样性无益。

These cliff-bound glaciers, seemingly wedged and immovable, are flowing like water and grinding the rocks beneath them.

这些悬崖峭壁的冰川， 看似楔入且不可移动， 却像水一样流动， 磨蚀着下方的岩石。

They've got machines to grind up the rock, and they've got machines to spread it on the fields.

他们有机器可以磨碎岩石，也有机器可以把它撒在田里。

Their so-called beak is actually a mosaic of tightly-packed teeth which can scrape and grind rock, allowing them to consume every bit of seaweed covering a stony surface.

它们所谓的喙其实是拼起来的紧凑牙齿，坚硬到能够刮并磨碎石头，这使它们能够把覆盖在石头上的所有海藻都吃光。

So we started grinding up rocks rich in phosphorus from fossilized bacteria poop, and rocks rich in nitrogen that got absorbed from the air.

因此， 我们开始研磨从化石细菌粪便中提取的富含磷的岩石，以及从空气中吸收的富含氮的岩石。

And it takes energy to cook wood and to grind rock, and so all of those approaches I'm talking about are currently much more expensive than planting trees.

烧木头和磨石头都需要能量，所以我所说的所有这些方法目前都比种植树木昂贵得多。

But you can speed up the process if you grind up the rock and spread it on fields, and then you can speed it up to just a couple of years.

但是如果你把岩石磨碎并撒在田里，你可以加快这个过程，然后你可以把它加快到仅仅几年。

The world is full of places where you can plant trees and put carbon in soil and grind up rock and spread it and capture CO2 from the air and find places to store it underground.

世界上到处都是你可以种树、将碳放入土壤、碾碎岩石并将其散布、从空气中捕获二氧化碳并找到将其储存在地下的地方。
