HOW DOES GEYSER HAPPEN? Title
A geyser is the result of underground water under the combined
conditions of high temperatures and increased pressure beneath the General
surface of the earth. Since temperature rises approximately 1 F for statement to
every sixty feet under the earth's surface, and pressure increases position the
with depth, the water that seeps down in crack and fissures until it readers
reaches very hot rock in the earth interior becomes heated to
temperature in excess of 290 F.
Now consider the massive pressures placed on water within a
geyser's plumbing system. Water in such a system can reach
incredibly high temperatures (and store incredible amounts of energy
as a result) before it starts to boil. As the magma at the base of the
geyser transfers heat throughout the system, more energy gets
trapped in the water. Eventually, pockets of water begin to reach their
boiling point and become turbulent. This turbulence pushes a
relatively small quantity of water out of the opening of the A sequenced
geyser,decreasing the amount of pressure on the water remaining in explanation of
the geyser. With this sudden pressure drop (and corresponding drop how geyser
in boiling point), the water in the geyser flashes into steam. The occurs
steam quickly expands to 1,500 times the volume of water and this
expansion violently pushes water and steam from the mouth of the
geyser in an eruption. These eruptions last as long as the water in the
geyser remains hot enough to push water out of the geyser opening.
Eventually, the entire system will either run out of water or the water
will cool down enough for the eruption to stop. The cycle, of course,
starts all over again.

Geysers like Old Faithful create eruptions of this scale every day, to
the delight of the millions of visitors who witness them each year. Yet,
despite the unbelievable forces that drive their eruptions, geysers are
among the rarest and most fragile natural phenomena on Earth.
Favorable conditions for geyser exist in some regions of the world Closing
including New Zealand, Iceland, and the Yellowstone National Park
area of the United States. The most famous geyser in the world is Old
Faithfull in Yellow Park. Old Faithfull erupts almost every hour, rising
to a height of 125 to 170 feet and expelling more than ten thousand
gallons during each eruption.
