Japan's earthquake forecasting program, which monitors factors such as seismic activity and crustal deformation, may eventually watch tidal activity as well. 日本的這項監測地震活動與地殼變動的地震預報計畫，最後可能也會開始觀察潮汐的活動。
As there are relatively few observed points in crustal deformation monitoring, it is hard to deduct the deformation of the unobserved points correctly with conventional methods. 摘要由於地殼形變監測中觀測點相對較少，用常規方法很難準確推求那些未經觀測但又需要關注的點的變形量。
The tectonic movement that occurred since the Neogene has been the major developmental and evolutional stage of the latest global crustal deformation and orogenic movement. 新近紀以來的構造運動是全球最新的地殼形變和造山運動的發展演化階段。
