【典例1】(2019·江苏高考·B)In the 1960s, while studying the volcanic
history of Yellowstone National Park, Bob Christiansen became puzzled about
something that, oddly, had not troubled anyone before: he couldn’t find the
park’s volcano.It had been known for a long time that Yellowstone was volcanic
in nature—that’s what accounted for all its hot springs and other steamy
features. But Christiansen couldn’t fi nd the Yellowstone volcano anywhere.
Most of us,when we talk about volcanoes, think of the classic cone(圆锥
体)shapes of a Fuji or Kilimanjaro, which are created when erupting magma
(岩浆)piles up. These can form remarkably quickly. In 1943, a Mexican
farmer was surprised to see smoke rising from a small part of his land.In one
week he was the confused owner of a cone fi ve hundred feet high.Within two
years it had topped out at almost fourteen hundred feet and was more than half a
mile across. Altogether there are some ten thousand of these volcanoes on Earth,
all but a few hundred of them extinct. There is, however, a second less known
type of volcano that doesn’t involve mountain building. These are volcanoes so
explosive that they burst open in a single big crack, leaving behind a vast hole,
the caldera. Yellowstone obviously was of this second type, but Christiansen
couldn’t fi nd the caldera anywhere.
Just at this time NASA decided to test some new high altitude cameras by
taking photographs of Yellowstone. A thoughtful offi cial passed on some of the
copies to the park authorities on the assumption that they might make a nice
blow up for one of the visitors’ centers. As soon as Christiansen saw the photos,
