Geyser Capital of the World
What do you think creates a geyser?
1. What would you think if you saw water shooting straight up out of the ground? Unless you were near a fountain or a sprinkler, you would probably be quite surprised. When a geyser erupts, however, that is exactly what happens. You would not want to play in its spray, though. The water and steam shooting out of a geyser are more than 212 degrees Fahrenheit!
2. Unless you have taken a trip to Yellowstone National Park, you have probably never seen a geyser. Although single geysers are located in a few of places, there are only six spots on Earth where large groups of geysers exist. Geyser fields can be found in New Zealand, Japan, and Iceland, but the largest field by far is in the United States. Yellowstone contains nearly 400 geysers – as many as the rest of the world combined. The geysers at Yellowstone are also among the most active.
3. The word geyser comes from an Icelandic word that means to gush. Geysers are formed when heated water is trapped deep underground. This water becomes hot when it comes into contact with magma. Magma is a type of rock that is so hot it has turned into liquid. When a volcano erupts, magma comes out in the form of lava.
4. The boiling water and steam in the geyser got trapped because the way to the surface is blocked by cooler water on top.
Normally, steam can float away into the air like it does when a pot boils on the stove. The steam in a geyser has nowhere to go. Pressure keeps building until small amounts of cold water are pushed out of the top. Eventually, the pressure from the hot water becomes stronger than the weight of the cold water on top, and the geyser explodes into the air.
5. Once all of the pressure is released, the eruption ends, and the whole process begins again. Although every geyser is different, the time each geyser takes to erupt can be predicted. For instance, Old Faithful in Yellowstone erupts every 30 to 90 minutes. Each geyser also shoots to a different height. Old Faithful sprays as high as 170 feet in the air. The tallest geyser in the world is Steamboat Geyser, also located at Yellowstone. It can shoot water 350 feet into the air.
6. Today, you do not have to go all the way to Wyoming to see Old Faithful erupt. You can see it from home or school on the Internet. The National Park Service has set up a Web cam that shows Old Faithful in action. Just visit www.nps.gov to see Old Faithful live.
