【TOEFL Listening - Academic Lecture】【Plate Tectonics and Volcano Formation】無料練習問題と詳しい解説

1.
What is the main topic of the lecture?

The geography of the Hawaiian Islands.

The differences between magma and lava.

How plate tectonic processes lead to the formation of volcanoes.

The history of the theory of plate tectonics.

2.
According to the professor, what happens at a subduction zone to cause rock to melt?

The friction of the two plates rubbing together generates intense heat.

Water released from the sinking plate lowers the melting point of the rock above it.

The continental plate becomes superheated and melts the oceanic plate.

Magma from the core rises directly through the subducting plate.

3.
The professor discusses different types of volcanic formations. Which location is given as an example of volcanism NOT at a plate boundary?

The Andes Mountains

Iceland

The Ring of Fire

The Hawaiian Islands

4.
What can be inferred about the ages of the individual islands in the Hawaiian chain?

The islands are all approximately the same age.

The largest island is the oldest one.

The islands get progressively older as one moves away from the current hot spot.

There is no way to determine the relative ages of the islands.

5.
Why does the professor say this: ▶ 'But what about volcanoes that are nowhere near a plate edge? Think of Hawaii.'

To suggest that the theory of plate tectonics has major flaws.

To introduce a different volcanic mechanism that requires explanation.

To quiz the students on the geography of the Pacific Ocean.

To indicate that the lecture is about to end.

6.
How does the professor organize the information in the lecture?

He contrasts volcanoes on land with those underwater.

He presents the information by geographical region.

He classifies volcanoes based on their formation process.

He discusses the history of volcanology from past to present.
