Report about natural geysers
Answers
Natural geysers are hot springs that intermittently throw up a jet of hot water, stream, etc. The earth''s crust has cracks and vents. Water occupies these and gets heated due to geothermal energy. Due to heating, water turns into steam and pressure increases.
A geyser (/ˈɡaɪzər/, also /ˈɡiːzə/)[1][2] is a spring characterized by intermittent discharge of water ejected turbulently and accompanied by steam. As a fairly rare phenomenon, the formation of geysers is due to particular hydrogeological conditions that exist only in a few places on Earth. Generally all geyser field sites are located near active volcanic areas, and the geyser effect is due to the proximity of magma. Generally, surface water works its way down to an average depth of around 2,000 metres (6,600 ft) where it contacts hot rocks. The resultant boiling of the pressurized water results in the geyser effect of hot water and steam spraying out of the geyser's surface vent (a hydrothermal explosion).
