The Earth's Pacific Plate is driven under the Indo-Australian Plate under North Island giving rise to the island's volcanism. Ruapehu erupted last in 1995. In the geothermal areas of Taupo and Rotorua the hot rocks located close to the surface heats ground water which boils to the surface as hot springs. When the water rises as steam it bursts out of the ground as tall fountains called geysers. The heat released by this volcanic activity is used to generate electricity in geothermal power stations. Further south these two plates, the Pacific and Indo-Australian, push hard against one another forcing up the Southern Alp mountains of South Island.

Every hour or so it sends a stream of scalding hot water from 135-200 feet in the air. Why does this occur? The same scientific principle that makes a volcano erupt turns a hole in the ground into a spectacular fountain. Hot springs and geysers form over magma chambers in very similar ways. Geysers though, are more complex in how they form and much more spectacular in the display that they put on. Here is how the Earth works like a giant hot water heater and boiler. Rain water seeps into the ground and slowly percolates down through cracks in the layers of the upper crust. Here it collects in porous rock that holds the water like Read More Go to Site Exploratorium: Science Snacks: Geyser Votes:0 Geyser Cyclic hot water fountain Natural geysers form when underground chambers fill with water and are heated geothermally. When the water is heated to its boiling point, the geyser erupts, spewing its contents, and the cycle starts again.

However, geysers are extremely rare on the surface of the earth, indicating that a complex set of parameters must be exactly right for geysers to occur. Figure 1 shows locations and Table 1 lists names of geyser fields of the world. It is worth noting that there are only approximately fifty geyser fields known to exist on earth and around two-thirds of those fifty contain five or fewer active geysers. Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming, U.S.A. has, by nearly an order of magnitude, more geysers than any other field known, and has been the site of extensive study of the properties and characteristics of ge Read More Go to Site Geysers in the United States — Infoplease.com Votes:0 Site Map | FAQ in All Infoplease Almanacs • General • Entertainment • Sports Biographies Dictionary Encyclopedia Spelling Checker Daily Almanac for Nov 20, 2007 Search White Pages Skip Navigation Home Almanacs Atlas Encyclopedia Dictionary Thesaurus Features Quizzes Timelines Countries American Indian Heritage Month World & News United States History & Gov't Biography Sports Arts & Ent.

Click on image for full size version ( 40K GIF ) Image from: NASA When Voyager flew by Io the surprise discovery was the geyser, Prometheus, in full eruption. Geysers such as Prometheus spout pools of liquid around the vent, rather than a channel of lava . Features which resemble pools of liquid are readily seen on the surface of Io, suggesting a lot of geyser activity. Geysers of Io spout liquid SO2 rather than water, and the spout rises quite high into the air. The average height of a spout of liquid SO2 is 300 km (200 mi)! The highest measured spout rose to 460 km (250 mi).

Park research geologist Rick Hutchinson said many geyser basins inthe park have less water than they have had in years, and theactivity of some of the more popular spouters is down. The park'smost famous geyser, Old Faithful, appeared to have survived thosesmall earthquakes with little or no change, however. Hutchinson said earthquakes have a dramatic effect on geyserslocated in a seismically active area. An earthquake will flush out anextra amount of water from the geysers, he said, "sort of like thecrest on a wave."

With ample hunting and fishing, with crops of wild clover, wild oats, acorns, roots, and berries, they lived a happy and contented life of abundance--until Spaniards and Mexicans arrived, establishing their settlements. The Ashochimis were compelled to hunt for adequate game farther and farther away from their homeland, because their traditional hunting grounds were overtaken by the intruders. One day, Guavo and Kolo, two young Ashochimi hunters, caught sight of an unusually large grizzly bear. They shot their barbed arrows into the monstrous animal's side. The bear Read More Go to Site Volcanoes: Geysers, Fumaroles, and Hot Springs Votes:0 Geysers, Fumaroles, and Hot Springs G eysers, fumaroles (also called solfataras ), and hot springs aregenerally found in regions of young volcanic activity. Surface water percolatesdownward through the rocks below the Earth's surface to high-temperatureregions surrounding a magma reservoir, either active or recently solidifiedbut still hot. There the water is heated, becomes less dense, and risesback to the surface along fissures and cracks. Sometimes these featuresare called "dying volcanoes" because they seem to represent thelast stage of volcanic activity as the magma, at depth, cools and hardens. E rupting geysers provide spectacular displays of underground energy suddenlyunleashed, but their mechanisms are not completely understood. Large amountsof hot water are pre Read More Go to Site
