地球上大部分的火山活动和地震活动发生在板块之间的边界处。
The other islands, which emerged via geological processes such as volcanism, possessed no terrestrial life.其他岛屿是通过如火山作用的地质作用形成的,没有陆地生命。
Unlike Oceanic islands that were once part of continental landmasses, islands formed by such geological processes as volcanism contain only plants and animals that could be transported there.与曾经是大陆性陆地的一部分的海洋岛屿不同,由火山作用等地质过程形成的岛屿只包含可以被运输到那里的动植物。
