Because continental shelfs are gently sloping, this has led to dramatic changes in the land area of continents throughout geological time.

由于大陆架坡度平缓，导致整个地质时期大陆的面积发生剧烈变化。

The game hit the shelfs in 95 and Toriyama created the majority of the aesthetics, including character, monster, vehicle and the outlook of the environmental design for each timezone.

该游戏于1995年上市，鸟山明创作了游戏的大部分美学设计，包括人物、怪物、交通工具和每个时代的环境设计。

The continental shelfs of today have formed  over tens of millions of years through the deposition of sediment from land rivers as well  as the build up of dead plant and animal life.

当今的大陆架是经过数千万年的陆地河流沉积以及死亡植物和动物的堆积而形成的。
