Nazca Plate

基本解释

This huge jolt happened as the Nazca plate moved down and landward below the South American plate.
这次巨大的摇晃发生在纳斯卡板块下移，向南美板块下的近陆移动。
Clearly, this puts S America pushing over the Nazca Plate to her west, which is occurring now and causing quakes all up and down the Andes.
很明显，这样会使南美版块在纳斯卡板块上面被推动，并跑到西面，而现在这正在上演着，在安第斯山脉处引起了此起彼伏的地震。

By measuring the slow rising and falling of the ground as the inexorable collision of the Nazca plate squeezed the coast, they could calculate how fast strain was actually building.
通过测量因纳斯卡板块挤压海岸发生碰撞造成的地面的缓慢上升与下降，他们能够估算压力的实际聚集速度。
