Smit believed it was a Tsunami tidal wave like no other.
Smit認(rèn)為原因不是別的，就是海嘯。
It would have travelled at hundreds of miles an hour.
它每小時(shí)能前進(jìn)數(shù)百英里。
It could have been a thousand feet high.
高度可達(dá)1000英尺。
According to Smit, the Tsunami must have churned up billions of tonnes of sand from the coast
按照Smit的說(shuō)法，正是海嘯從海岸上卷起了數(shù)十億噸的沙子，
and dumped it on the ocean bed.
然后將它們堆在海底。
This became the sandstone and when the sea level fell, the rock was exposed.
它們變成了沙巖，每當(dāng)海平面下落時(shí)，巖石便暴露出來(lái)。
If Smit was right, the entire outcrop was created in no time at all.
如果Smit是正確的，那么整個(gè)裸露巖層應(yīng)該在很短的時(shí)間內(nèi)形成。
After the impact, it took a few minutes for the molten material from the crater to get on the spot and deposit on the sea floor.
大碰撞后，隕石坑內(nèi)的熔化物幾分鐘內(nèi)就會(huì)到達(dá)這里，并在海底堆積。
Then after a few hours we get huge Tsunami waves crashing in
幾小時(shí)后，巨大的海嘯到達(dá)，
and they bring a lot of sand here to this place here.
將大量泥沙帶到這個(gè)地方。
Keller was fascinated by the Tsunami idea and followed Smit to Mexico.
Keller對(duì)海嘯的說(shuō)法很感興趣，她跟著Smit來(lái)到墨西哥。
Keller and her colleague, Wolfgang Stinnesbeck, investigated fifty rock outcrops in the same region.
Keller和她的同事Wolfgang Stinnesbeck研究了同一地區(qū)的50塊裸露巖石。
The same sandstone feature Smit described occurred everywhere they looked,
Smit描述的沙巖地貌隨處可見(jiàn)，
but somehow Smit's Tsunami analysis just didn't seem to fit.
但不管怎樣，Smit的海嘯觀點(diǎn)似乎站不住腳。
