Geyser
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 approximately
10F for every sixty feet under the earth's surface, and pressure increases with depth, the water
that seeps down in crack and fissures until it reaches very hot rock In the earth interior becomes
heated to temperature In excess of 290F. Because of the greater pressure, the water shoots out
of the surface in the form of steam and hot water , The result is a geyser . In order to function,
then a geyser must have a source of heat, reservoir where water can be stored until the
temperature rises to an unstable point, an opening through which the hot water and steam can
escape, and underground channels for resupplying water
after an eruption.

Favorable conditions for geyser exist in some regions of the world Including New Zealand, Iceland,
and the Yellowstone National Park area of the United States. The most famous geyser in the
