地震是怎样发生的?

答案

参考答案:

地震是地球内部矛盾运动的结果,是地球物质不断运动、发展变化的结果。地球运动时,在地球内部产生一种作用于岩石的巨大力量,使岩石变形,岩石产生反抗形变的力,这种力,我们称为地应力,由于地应力的不断积累和加强,在岩石一些比较脆弱的地方,当地应力作用超过岩石的强度时,岩石就会突然发生破裂、错动,把长期积累的能量在瞬间释放出来,引起地面的震动,这种地震是由于地球内部构造变动引起的,所以亦叫构造地震,我国发生的地震几乎都属于这一类。另外,还有由于火山爆发、岩浆活动攻击地层和火山口气体爆炸引起的地震(火山地震),因石灰岩溶洞塌陷、矿井塌陷引起的地震(陷落地震)等。

The word science is heard so often in modem times that almost everybody has some notion of its meaning. On the other hand, its definition is difficult for many people. The meaning of the term is confused, but everyone should understand its meaning and objectives. Just to make the explanation as simple as possible, suppose science is defined as classified knowledge (facts).
Even in the true sciences distinguishing fact from fiction is not always easy. For this reason great care should be taken to distinguish between beliefs and truths. There is no danger as long as’ a clear difference is made between temporary and proved explanations. For example, hypotheses and theories are attempts to explain natural phenomena. From these positions the scientist continues to experiment and observe until they are proved or discredited (使不相信). The exact status of any explanation should be clearly labeled to avoid confusion.
The objectives of science are primarily the discovery and the subsequent understanding of the unknown. Man cannot be satisfied with recognizing that secrets exist in nature or that questions are unanswerable; he must solve them. Toward that end specialists in the field of biology and related fields of interest are directing much of their time and energy.
Actually, two basic approaches lead to the discovery of new information. One, aimed at satisfying curiosity, is referred to as pure science. The other is aimed at using knowledge for specific purposes, for instance, improving health, raising standards of living, or creating new consumer products. In this case knowledge is put to economic use. Such an approach is referred to as applied science.
Sometimes practical-minded people miss the point of pure science in thinking only of its immediate application for economic rewards. Chemists responsible for many of the discoveries could hardly have anticipated that their findings would one day result in applications of such a practical nature as those directly related to life and death. The discovery of one bit of information opens the door to the discovery of another. Some discoveries seem so simple that one is amazed they were not made years ago; however, one should remember that the construction of the microscope had to precede the discovery of the cell. The host of scientists dedicating their lives to pure science are not apologetic about ignoring the practical side of their discoveries; they know from experience that most knowledge is eventually applied.

To define science we may simply call it ______.

A.classified knowledge

B.the study of unrelated fields

C.the study of unrelated subjects

D.an attempt to explain natural phenomena
