These small peaks rising from the ground are the result of hundreds of millions of years of water erosion.

这些拔地而起的小山峰是经历了亿万年流水侵蚀之后留下的。

While this might initially seem to be bad news  - you might rightly conclude that not much life could be found in magma - scientists could  discern signs of water erosion on the rocks.

虽然这最初看起来可能是个坏消息——你可能会正确地得出结论，岩浆中找不到太多生命——但科学家们可以辨别岩石上水侵蚀的迹象。
