How a
Geyser Forms
A geyser field is usually located in an area where there has
been recent volcanic activity.There can be hundreds of geysers in a geyser
field.Their located depend on the system of channels underground.(General Statement)
Cold surface water seeps underground.It flows through cracks
in nonporous rock (rock that does not soak up water) and collects in channels
of porous rock (rock that soak up water).The water is heated by hot rock and it
begins to expand and boil.Water at the top boils off or spills over.This
reduces the pressure and causes deeper water to boil much more
violently,creating jets of steam and fountains of hot water. (A Sequenced Explanation)
