Indians, usually so little curious about geological phenomena, have come to me occasionally and asked me, " What makeum the ground so smooth at Lake Tenaya" ?

印度人通常对地质现象不太好奇， 偶尔会来找我， 问我：“特纳亚湖的地面为何如此平坦” ？

It’s what’s called a continental rift, a term that currently holds the record for most esoteric geological phenomenon to ever be the basis of a children’s movie.

这就是所谓的大陆裂谷，这个术语目前保持着最深奥的地质现象的记录，成为儿童电影的基础。
