	USGS Photo Glossary: geyser
		Most geysers are hot springs that episodically erupt fountains of scalding water and steam.
		Some geysers erupt from cold or warm springs and are powered by gas pressure instead of the actual boiling of water.
		Most of the world's geysers are near regions of volcanic activity, which supply the heat needed to boil shallow ground water.

		Every geyser continuing to deposit siliceous material is preparing its own destruction; for as soon as the tube becomes deep enough to contain a column of water sufficiently heavy to prevent the lower strata attaining their boiling points, the whole mechanism is deranged.
		Geysers exist at the present time in many volcanic regions, as in the Malay Archipelago, Japan and South America; but the three localities where they attain their highest development are Iceland, New Zealand and the Yellowstone Park, U.S.A. The very name by which we call them indicates the historical priority of the Iceland group.
		geysers were no longer active, and ~ FIG I this condition prevailed until the Tarawera eruption of 1886, when seven gigantic geysers came into existence; water, steam, mud and stones were discharged to a height of 600 to 8oo ft. for a period of about four hours, when quieter conditions set in.

	Geyser - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Geyser activity, like all hot spring activity, is caused by surface water gradually seeping down through the ground until it meets rock heated by magma.
		Geysers differ from noneruptive hot springs in their subterranean structure; many consist of a small vent at the surface connected to one or more narrow tubes that lead to underground reservoirs of water.
		There are two types of geyser; Fountain geysers erupt from pools of water, typically in a series of intense, even violent, bursts; and cone geysers which erupt from cones or mounds of siliceous sinter (also known as geyserite), usually in steady jets that last anywhere from a few seconds to several minutes.

	The UnMuseum - Geysers
		Geysers are some of the most unusual geologic phenomena in the world.
		While geysers are rare (there are less than 700 known geysers in the world) they are not impossible for the average person to observe.
		These geysers produce an eruption where the water and steam come in bursts and water is sprayed around in all directions instead of creating a single column.

	MSN Encarta - Geyser
		Geyser, hot spring that erupts intermittently in a column of steam and hot water.
		A geyser erupts when the base of a column of water resting in the earth is vaporized by hot volcanic rock.
		A famous geyser is Old Faithful in Yellowstone National Park, which expels about 38,000 to 45,000 liters (about 10,000 to 12,000 gallons) at each eruption.

		Notable geysers are found in Iceland, New Zealand, and W United States, which are areas of recent volcanic activity.
		Geyser action in Iceland was studied by the German chemist R. Bunsen, whose explanation of it (1847) is generally accepted.
		Geyser activity is influenced by earth tides, which are caused by the moon’s gravitational pull on the earth.

	Dilemma Geyser - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Dilemma Geyser is a geyser in the Lower Geyser Basin of Yellowstone National Park in the United States.
		Eruptions of Dilemma Geyser from a few seconds to a few minutes and are high as 10 feet (3 m) in the spring with 1—4 feet (0.3—0.9 m) the rest of the year.
		The name for Dilemma Geyser came from the fact that the two vents of this geyser are surrounded by distinct run-off channels that couldn't be explained by the tiny eruptions that the geyser had prior to 1989.

		Geyser activity, like all hot spring activity, is caused by surface water gradually seeping down through the ground until it meets rock heated by magma, then rising back toward the surface by convection through porous and fractured rock.
		Geysers are fragile phenomena and if conditions change, they 'die.' Many geysers have been destroyed by people throwing litter into them, others by the installation of geothermal power plants.

	Yellowstone Geysers - Old Faithful Upper Geyser Basin

		But until the IMMS was introduced, such a system would be extremely costly…and would no doubt include a host of “bells and whistles” that would not be needed at Geyser Falls, yet would be included in a system’s price.

	Carbon Dioxide-Driven, Cold Water Geysers --- Crystal Geyser, Utah
		The activity of cold-water geysers is similar to their hot water counterparts, except that CO bubbles drive the eruption instead of steam.
		Analogous to steam bubbles expanding to displace water in a hot water geyser, the column of water in a cold-water geyser’s plumbing exerts enough pressure to keep the CO in solution and in small bubbles.
		The appearance of cold-water geysers may be quite similar to their steam-driven counterparts; however, often CO -laden water is more white and frothy.

		The geyser’s first major eruption in nearly nine years could signal a renewed bout of activity by the unpredictable geyser that sometimes has erupted only a few days apart and other times has gone 50 years without an eruption.
		Although geysers erupt when near-boiling water in a maze of underground channels suddenly explodes into steam, the water had cooled by the time it hit the ground.
		Streams of runoff from the geyser had washed rocks and sticks across the wooden boardwalks leading through the geyser basin and in one spot toppled a lodgepole pine sapling, Taylor said.

		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.
		Several eruptions will occur before the plastic container of water gets too hot and the temperature difference between the water in the flask and the water in the plastic container is not great enough to refill the system.
