    The document summarizes the formation of the Hawaiian island chain over roughly 80 million years as the Pacific tectonic plate moved northwest over a stationary hotspot. New volcanoes formed as the plate passed over the hotspot and older islands moved away and became extinct. The chain now stretches roughly 2,700 km from Hawaii in the southeast to Niihau in the northwest.

    The diagram below gives the information about the Hawaiian island chain in the

    centre of the Pacific Ocean.


    Write a report for a university lecturer describing the information shown.
     
    » Write at least 150 words. (Sample, band 9)

    The map portrays the Hawaiian island chain, which is located in the heart of the
    Pacific Ocean and roughly 2,700 kilometres in length. As is presented, it is formed of
    volcanoes and the active ones are at the south-east tip of the archipelago, where
    Hawaii itself is situated. It also shows the how the volcano eruption occurs.

    It is pointed out that the chain began to form almost 80 million years ago on solid
    dense rock bed and each island started to evolve after an eruption on the seafloor.
    First, a `hot spot' existed on the ocean bed, which let out a plume of the material called
    'magma'. Further, hot spot remained stable. Hence, magma spume was formed. This
    magma may originate as deep as 2,883 km below the ocean bed. Next, further
    eruptions took place, which built up the volcano. Eventually, it emerged above the
    surface of the ocean.

    Afterward, the spume of magma has remained immobile as the Pacific tectonic plate
    moves in a north-west direction across it at an annual speed of 7-9 centimetre. As it
    moves, a volcano forms as it passes over the hotspot and then become inactive when it
    has passed it. The other major islands in the Pacific ocean are Niihau, Kauai, Oahu,
    Molokai, Maui, Lanai and Kahoolawe which are 0-100 kilometres away from each
    other.
     
    Your task: Describe the diagram below. At least 150 words. 20 minutes
    The figure illustrates the process of a meteorology to forecast the weather. Overall,
    there are four stages in the process, beginning with the collection of information about
    the weather. This information is then analysed, prepared for presentation, and finally
    broadcast to the public.
    Looking at the first and second stages of the process, there are three ways of collecting
    weather data and three ways of analysing it. Firstly, incoming information can be
    received by satellite and presented for analysis as a satellite photo. The same data can
    also be passed to a radar station and presented on a radar screen or synoptic chart.
    Secondly, incoming information may be collected directly by radar and analysed on a
    radar screen or synoptic chart. Finally, drifting buoys also receive data which can be
    shown on a synoptic chart.
    At the third stage of the process, the weather broadcast is prepared on computers.
    Finally, it is delivered to the public on television, on the radio, or as a recorded
    telephone announcement.
