This idea that the Earth cooked the Moon and formed the crustal anomaly is pretty new, and is still being argued over.

这种地球塑造了月球，导致月亮的不正常形成的观点还比较新，仍然有不少争议。

As you can see, the lava cooling on the surface and forming crustal plates. It's fascinating science happening right in front of our eyes.

正如你所看到的，熔岩在地表冷却并形成地壳板块。神奇的科学现象就在我们眼前发生。

The hope was to lower a drill through 14,000 feet of Pacific Ocean water off the coast of Mexico and drill some 17,000 feet through relatively thin crustal rock.

他们希望把钻头伸进墨西哥近海4000多米深的太平洋海水，然后再往下钻5000多米，穿透比较薄的地壳岩石。

The idea was...if there was some other body there and it finally crashes into the Earth, it blows off all this crustal material from the Earth...As well as from the impacter itself.

这个概念是...如果那里有一些其它的物体，并且最终撞击地球，将从地球撞出这所有的地壳物质...同样也有撞击者自身。
