Many volcanoes on earth arise because an oceanic tectonic plate crashes into a continental plate.

地球上的许多火山都是由于海洋构造板块撞击大陆板块而产生的。

We discovered that literally tons of carbon dioxide were coming out of this deeply buried oceanic plate.

我们发现从这个深埋的海洋板块中释放出数吨二氧化碳。

Some of the water in these hot springs is actually bubbling up from this deeply buried oceanic plate.

这些温泉中的一些水实际上是从这个深埋的海洋板块中冒出来的。

The graveyards  of these oceanic tectonic plates, however, lie in deep trenches, when they are forced  below continental or other oceanic plates.

然而，当这些海洋板块被迫沉入大陆或其他海洋板块之下时，它们的墓地就位于深海沟中。

Oceanic Plates: Earth's Mobile Skin Earth's lithosphere, comprising the crust and the uppermost mantle, is broken into a series of tectonic plates.

海洋板块：地球的移动表皮 地球的岩石圈由地壳和最上地幔组成，被分成一系列的构造板块。

Undersea Mountains: The Mid--Ocean Ridges Mid--ocean ridges, the longest mountain chains on Earth, are formed at divergent plate boundaries where two oceanic plates move apart.

海底山脉：大洋中脊 大洋中脊是地球上最长的山脉，形成于两个大洋板块分开的不同板块边界处。

As this oceanic plate subducts or gets moved underneath this continental plate, things like water and carbon dioxide and other materials get squeezed out of it, like ringing a wet washcloth.

当这个海洋板块俯冲或移动到这个大陆板块下方时，水、二氧化碳和其他物质会被挤出， 就像弄湿毛巾一样。

We wanted to ask the very specific question: Why is it that the carbon dioxide that comes out of this deeply buried oceanic tectonic plate is only coming out of the volcanoes?

我们想问一个非常具体的问题：为什么从这个深埋的海洋构造板块中释放出来的二氧化碳只从火山中释放出来？

But the fact that it erupted illustrates perfectly that if you want to look for where carbon dioxide gas is coming out of this oceanic plate, then you should look no further than the volcanoes themselves.

但它爆发的事实完美地说明了，如果你想寻找二氧化碳气体从这个海洋板块中流出的地方，那么你应该看看火山本身。
