	Geyser - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		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.

	Strokkur - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Strokkur (meaning The Churn in Icelandic) is a geyser in the Haukadalur valley in southern Iceland.
		Strokkur is only a few metres away from Geysir, the original geyser.
		However, unlike Geysir which erupts infrequently and may be dormant for years at a time, Strokkur erupts very reliably every 5-10 minutes, hurling boiling water to heights of up to 20 metres.
	en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Strokkur (92 words)

	Geysir - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The English word geyser to describe a spouting hot spring derives from Geysir (which itself is derived from the Icelandic verb gjósa meaning to erupt.
		Changes in the activity of the Geysir and the surrounding geysers are strongly related to earthquake activity.
		By 1935 the geyser was almost dormant again and a manmade channel was dug through the silica rim around the edge of the geyser vent.

	Geyser
		A geyser is a special type of hot spring that erupts periodically, ejecting a column of hot water and steam into the air.
		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 differ from noneruptive hot springs in their subterranean structure: They generally consist of a small vent at the surface, connected to one or more narrow tubes that lead to large underground reservoirs of water.

	Geysir
		Indeed the English word geyser to describe a spouting hot spring derives for Geysir, the place (which itself is related to the Icelandic verb gjosa meaning to erupt).
		Strokkur geyser's activity has also been affected by earthquakes, although to a lesser extent than the Great Geysir.
		Some photographs of the Strokkur geyser erupting may be seen on the geyser page.

	Geysir Center - Iceland - Geyser - Information on the geology of the geothermal area.
		The geyser Strokkur (churn) erupts every 8 minutes and has been the main geysir in the area since 1963, when its channel was thoroughly cleaned.
		Strokkur was formed in an earthquake in 1789 and was active until the next earthquake in 1896, then it was shut down by the quake.
		Other geysers in the area are Sódi (the sod), Smiður (the carpenter), Fata (the bucket), Óþerrishola (the non-draught-hole, or the rainmaker), Litli Geysir (the small Geysir) and Litli Strokkur (the little Strokkur).

		Geyser scientists and observers have identified the volcanic rock rhyolite as being particularly effective at hosting geysers.
		Regardless of the lack of 'tall' geysers, the large number of geysers and their link to contemporary volcanic activity make it one of the world's largest and unique geyser areas.
		Geysers are known to have existed in at least a dozen other areas on the island, but have become inactive due to geothermal development.

	Geysers of Iceland
		The second most famous geyser in Iceland is Strokkur, which erupts every 8 minutes throwing a column of water and steam to a height of 20 metres or so.
		Geysers are found in active volcanic areas or land that is prone to earthquakes.
		To encourage a geyser to erupt earlier than its natural cycle, stones or even washing-up liquid can be thrown in to break the surface tension of the water.

	Articles - Geyser (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		The name ´´geyser´´ comes from ´´Geysir´´, the name of an erupting spring at Haukadalur, Iceland; that name, in turn, comes from the Icelandic verb ´´gjÃ³sa´´, "to gush".
		The duration of eruptions and time between successive eruptions vary greatly from geyser to geyser; Strokkur in Iceland erupts for a few seconds every few minutes, while Grand Geyser in the U.S. erupts for up to 10 minutes every 8-12 hours.
		Old Faithful, perhaps the best-known geyser at Yellowstone National Park, is an example of a cone geyser.

	Geyser
		Strokkur is an Icelandic geyser found in a geologic haven, where the most famous geyser, Geysir, also calls home, Haukadalur.
		Geyser fields are found on the banks of rivers, which plays a large roll in how geysers get their water.
		Additionally every geyser field in the world is located near some sort of volcanic, shallow lying, heat source.

	Strokkur Geyser at Geysir, Iceland, Europe - lastminute.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		The most famous and spectacular attractions are the geysers that can be found all over the island, and one in particular known as Strokkur.
		Strokkur, or "the Churn," may not spurt so high, but with an almost-guaranteed water spout every five minutes or so, its 25-metre height is very impressive indeed.
		The area is directly on top of an active volcanic belt that stretches from the south-west tip of Iceland to the north-east tip and the spectacular water spouts, as well as the hot bubbling mud springs around about are, quite literally, the Earth's way of letting off steam.

	The Great Geysir: The origin of the word geyser
		The geyser was apparently active following this time though not much is known about its active till 1630 when after about a 40 year dormancy the Geysir was again awaken by a large earthquake.
		It is not clear whether the dormancy was due to a shift in heat and water underground (a change of function)or because of the abuse to which the geyser was subjected.
		The largest active geyser in the Geysir basin is Strokkur (churn).

	Geysir Center - Iceland - Geyser - The history of the thermal area around the Great Geyser
		For example, the great earthquake of 1630 woke the geysers from a 40 year resting period causing such a massive reaction that renewed earthquakes occurred.
		Before the most recently occurring earthquake in 1896, the Great Geyser was calm, but the fountains from the Strokkur spouted up to a height of 60 meters.
		A special Geyser committee was formed to the purpose of setting up an enclosure and protecting the vegetation from sheep.

		The bulging hemisphere of water has a core of steam bubbles (opaque mass in center of bulge) that was generated deep within the fissure from which the geyser erupts.
		Geysers occur in association with areas of volcanic activity.
		Ground water is heated to the boiling point by geothermal energy and is constricted from circulating to the surface by overlying mineralized rock and the weight of the water column itself.

		Though the word refers to all geysers in general, it comes from a single geyser (in fact, the geyser) located in the South West of Iceland.
		Far more reliable, though less spectacular, is nearby Strokkur (“the churn”), which spouts a 60-100 foot jet about once every five minutes.
		The geyser area is also rich in walking paths that lead past steaming vents and colorful, mineral-rich mud formations.

		The Strokkur geyser is nearby and erupts every 10 minutes or so, shooting water about 115 feet high.
		Robert Wilhelm Eberhard von Bunsen was born in Göttingen, Germany in 1811, obviously a direct result of the New Madrid Earthquake.
		After taking temperatures inside the geyser tube, he figured out that the pressure differential of the moving water causes it to boil somewhere in the middle of the tube, launching the water out the top in a geyser.
