Working mehanism of natural geysers
Answers
Answer:
A natural geyser is a mechanism that extracts heat from the earth. Trapped meteoric water is heated and then thrown clear of its reservoir as hot water or steam, carrying heat with it. There are two basic types of geysers: columnar, discharging quantities of hot water; and pool, in which the eruption consists of a series of detonating steam explosions. Results of temperature measurements made deep within several geysers permit calculation of their respective approximate rates of heat extraction. Old Faithful, which discharges large quantities of water, extracts heat at the approximate rate of 1.34·10^6cal./sec. Narcissus, an explosive type geyser, develops power at the approximate rate of 3.3 · 10^3 cal./sec, and Solitary, another explosive geyser, at the rate of 6.4·.10^3 cal./sec.
