5 插入语是对主句中哪个对象的修饰

But detractors maintain that the terraces could also have been created by geological activity, perhaps related to the geologic forces, in which case they have nothing whatever to do with Martian water.

请问在这个句子中,双逗号中间的这个插入语,是修饰了前一句中的terraces 还是修饰了geological activity?

perhaps related to the geologic forces 不是同位语,是形容词短语作非限制性定语修饰geological activity,相当于一个非限制性定语从句:which is perhaps related to the geologic forces

But detractors maintain that the terraces could also have been created by geological activity, perhaps related to the geologic forces, in which case they have nothing whatever to do with Martian water.

参考译文:但是反对者认为这些台地可能是由地质活动造成的,也许与地质力量有关系,在这种情况下,这些台地就和火星上的水就没任何关系了。

以上句子语法结构分析如下

But【表示转折关系连词】// detractors 【主语】//maintain 【谓语动词】//that the terraces could also have been created by geological activity【宾语从句】//, perhaps related to the geologic forces【插入语】//, in which case they have nothing whatever to do with Martian water【非限制性定语从句】//.

备注:插入语是说话人用来对某事持某种观点和看法的一个独立成分。不是修饰某个句子成分,而是修饰整个句子内容。
