GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -A geyser is a rare kind of hot spring that is under pressure and erupts, sending jets of water and steam into the air. Geysers are made from a tube-like hole in the Earth’s surface that runs deep into the crust. The tube is filled with water.

Detailed explanation-2: -Geysers, fumaroles (also called solfataras), and hot springs are generally found in regions of young volcanic activity. Surface water percolates downward through the rocks below the Earth’s surface to high-temperature regions surrounding a magma reservoir, either active or recently solidified but still hot.

Detailed explanation-3: -In a geyser, liquid water and steam erupt episodically after water and steam bubbles accumulate in a side reservoir (“bubble trap”) where pressure builds prior to an eruption.

Detailed explanation-4: -The two types of geysers are fountain geysers (which shoot water out in various directions through a pool) and cone geysers (which shoot water out in a fairly narrow jet, usually from a cone-like formation).

Detailed explanation-5: -Geysers are one of the most common appliances which can be seen in every household. Geysers help in quickly heating water within no time and are also used for storing water for a long time. Geysers consume less amount of energy as compared to other water heating appliances like heating-rods and water heating coils.
