苏联亚美尼亚破坏性地震发生之后,地质学家们希望加快由高灵敏度地震仪台站组成的新的全球地震台网的建设,这些台网将以前所未有的准确度监测全球的地震。目前至少有7个较大的国家与国际性的地震台网正在建设之中,这些台网由许多具有新的数字记录设备的台站组成。从事新台网设计工作的科学家们说,他们不仅将提供更准确、及时的地震预报,还将揭示地球内部的性质及使大陆不断运动的力。科学家们说,这些新台网的设计工作已进行了几年,有些已接近完成。但由于缺少经费,有些精心设计的很有价值的计划被砍掉了。科学家们希望,在亚美尼亚发生的令人恐惧的地震能促使人们对建立新台网给予更多的 Geologists hope to speed up the construction of a new global seismograph network of highly sensitive seismograph stations that monitor global earthquakes with unprecedented accuracy, following the devastating earthquake in Armenia in the Soviet Union. At present, at least seven larger national and international seismograph networks are under construction. These are composed of many stations with new digital recording facilities. Scientists working on the design of the new network say they will not only provide more accurate and timely earthquake prediction but will also reveal the nature of the interior of the planet and the force that keeps the continent moving. Scientists say the design of these new Web sites has been around for years and some are nearing completion. However, due to lack of funding, some well-designed and valuable projects have been cut off. Scientists hope that the horrific earthquake in Armenia will prompt people to give more
