A geyser is the result of underground water
under the combined conditions of high temperatures
and increased pressure beneath the surface of the
Earth. Since temperature rises about
1°F
for every
sixty feet under the Earth's surface, and pressure
increases with depth, water that seeps down in
cracks and fissures until it reaches very hot rocks
in the Earth's interior becomes heated to a
temperature of approximately
290°F.
Water under pressure can remain liquid at
temperatures above its normal boiling point, but in
a geyser, the weight of the water nearer the
surface exerts so much pressure on the deeper
water that the water at the bottom of the geyser
reaches much higher temperatures than does the
water at the top of the geyser. As the deep water
becomes hotter, and consequently lighter, it
suddenly rises tothe surface and shoots out of the
surface in the form of steam and hot water. In
turn, the explosion agitates all the water in the
geyser reservoir, creating further explosions.
Immediately afterward, the water again flows into
the underground reservoir, heating begins, and
the process repeats itself.
In order to function, then,
a
geyser must have
a source of heat, a reservoir where water can be
stored until the temperature rises to an unstable
point, an opening through wh~ch the hot water and
steam can escape, and underground channels for
resupplying water after an eruption.
Favorable conditions for geysers exist in
regions of geologically recent volcanic activity,
especially in areas of more than average
precipitation. Forthe most part, geysers are
located in three regions of the world: New
Zealand, Iceland, and the Yellowstone National
Park area of the United States. The most famous
geyser in the world is Old Faithful in Yellowstone
Park. Old Faithful erupts every hour, rising to a
height of
125
to 170 feet and expelling more than
ten thousand gallons during each eruption. Old
Faithful earned its name because, unlike most geysers,
it
has never failed to erupt on schedule
even once in eighty years of observation.
