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 1 F 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
290 F.
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 world is ld
Faithfull in Yellow Park. Old Faithfull erupts almost every hour, rising to a height of 125 to 170 feet and
expelling more than ten thousand gallons during each eruption.
1. How geyser is produced?
A. By the rise of temperature pressure functioning hot steam.
B. From a huge tension of heated water that coming out from the earth crack.
C. From the heated temperature in earth cracK that absorbing water.
D. From the temperature and absorbed water that occurs on earth surface.
E. By the hot water and temperature of hot rock that occurs on earth surface.
2. Steam and hot water shoot out of the surface because of ...
This process the changing of water into a gas is called evaporation because gases are lighter than
liquids. Water vapor rises up into the sky and the further you move up and away from the Earth's
surface the colder temperature gets, so in the sky the water vapor cools and changes back into tiny
water droplets. This change is called condensation, and it is the opposite of evaporation.
Clouds are made up of tiny water droplets so when condensation occurs in the sky clouds form
and grow. When water droplets bump into one another they stick together and grow in size they
continue to grow until they are too heavy and fall as rain. They even grows they bump into one
another on their journey from the cloud to the ground and every single raindrop that reaches the
ground is made up of 1 million of the original tiny water droplets.
Raindrops fall on the ground surface or the Sun can shine on them and the whole process happens
again. This is called the water cycle and keeps water moving from the ground to the sky providing
the water needed for plants animals and people to survive.
