Geysers, Fumaroles, and Hot Springs G eysers, 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. There the water is heated, becomes less dense, and rises back to the surface along fissures and cracks. Sometimes these features are called "dying volcanoes" because they seem to represent the last stage of volcanic activity as the magma, at depth, cools and hardens. E rupting geysers provide spectacular displays of underground energy suddenly unleashed, but their mechanisms are not completely understood. Large amounts of hot water are presumed to fill underground cavities. The water, upon further heating, is violently ejected when a portion of it suddenly flashes into steam. This cycle can be repeated with remarkable regularity, as for example, at Old Faithful Geyser in Yellowstone National Park, which erupts on an average of about once every 65 minutes. Old Faithful Geyser, Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming.

What are geysers and hot springs? Christina Hi Christina, Hot springs are just places where hot water from within the Earth's crust escapes to the surface. A geyser is more specific. It requires a narrow vertical hole that is filled with water. Gas bubbles build up in the deeper part of the hole and eventually the gas pressure is sufficient to push the water out. As the dense, gas-poor water in the upper part of the hole gets pushed out, the pressure in the deeper gas-rich part drops. When the pressure drops the bubbles can expand more and push more water out, and on and on. Eventually the pressure is lowered enough so that all those gas bubbles exdpand rapidly and you get a whooshing eruption of the water. This pretty much empties the hole. Ground water flows in to the hole again and the cycle begins again. Sincerely, Scott Rowland Other Categories Other Questions To VolcanoWorld

Content Center (Lesson #9) Hot Spots-Hawaii and Yellowstone Geysers and Hot Springs Old Faithful geyser in Yellowstone Nation Park is a famous tourist attraction. Every hour or so it sends a stream of scalding hot water from 135-200 feet in the air. Why does this occur? The same scientific principle that makes a volcano erupt turns a hole in the ground into a spectacular fountain. Hot springs and geysers form over magma chambers in very similar ways. Geysers though, are more complex in how they form and much more spectacular in the display that they put on. Here is how the Earth works like a giant hot water heater and boiler. Rain water seeps into the ground and slowly percolates down through cracks in the layers of the upper crust. Here it collects in porous rock that holds the water like a sponge. The huge magma chamber that sits under the park is the heating source. This magma chamber is located over two miles below the porous rock layer that holds the water. The rock below radiates the heat up to the water by a method called conduction. You have felt conduction when you have picked up a glass handled dish of hot water from the microwave oven. The glass handle is hot because the heat from the water radiates through the bowl to the handle. The water in the layer of porous rock is heated but will not boil because it is under extreme pressure from the overlying rock. The water is superheated like in a steam boiler. The temperatures may reach over 500 degrees Fahrenheit! At the same time that the water is heating, more water from the surface keeps coming into the rock layer. This cooler water sinks to the bottom causing the hot water to rise. When the water rises the pressure from the surrounding rock layers drops. The result is the hot water will continue to rise untill it reaches the surface of the Earth. Some of these hot springs become filled with mud and form hot mud pots. People throughout the world come to hot springs and mud pots for enjoyment and some even believe they have medicinal or magical healing powers.

PARK INFORMATION HISTORY RECENT NEWS SERVICES ... PARK STAFF AND FUNDING gliding sidebar... Yellowstone National Parks communites include West Yellowstone, Jackson Hole, Cody, Big Sky, Gardner and Cooke City. The Mammoth Hot Spring Terraces have been a popular feature in Yellowstone since the early stagecoach routes up the Yellowstone River Valley. The Terraces, first described by the 1871 Hayden Survey, were given the name of White Mountain Hot Spring, even though they were well known and named before then. The step-like terraces form as heated water moves along the Morris-Mammoth Fault. The hot water carries dissolved calcium and bicarbonate to the surface of the terraces where pressure lessens. Carbon dioxide then escapes as gas and the carbonate combines with calcium to precipitate as travertine. The Mammoth Terraces are constantly changing shape and color. Springs which were active one to five years ago may be dry and lifeless now, yet activity may later resume. Along with changes of thermal activity come changes in color. Fresh travertine is bright white in color and as it weathers it changes to gray. Bright colored cyanobacteria and algae mats which were dependent upon a stable temperature and a flow of water also change as the microorganisms die creating a stark, bleak landscape.

18. Yellowstone Geothermal Resources can we find the array or number of geysers, hot springs, mud pots, and fumaroles found in Yellowstone the narrow vents of geysers and hot springs. Features have been plugged http://www.nps.gov/yell/nature/geothermal/ycr

The Official Website Of Yellowstone National Park Planning a Visit Visiting Online Nature History ... Publications The park's thermal features lie in the only essentially undisturbed geyser basins left worldwide. In Iceland and New Zealand, geothermal drill holes and wells 2.5 - 6.2 miles distant have reduced geyser activity and hot spring discharge. Despite the proximity of roads and trails in the largest basins, few park features have ever been diverted for human use (such as bathing pools or energy). YNP offers visitors and scientists an opportunity to appreciate thermal features in their natural, changing state. For example, research on thermophilic bacteria, algae mats, predators, and their environments is applied elsewhere to energy fuel production and extraction, bio-mining, control and removal of toxic wastes, development of new surfactants and fermentation processes, and other fields. Park features have always been subject to some influence from human vandalism. In the park's early years it was common for visitors to use thermal features as "wishing wells", and this practice continues to some degree today. Coins, rocks, trash, logs or stumps, and other paraphernalia are found in the narrow vents of geysers and hot springs. Features have been plugged up, and little can be done to repair the damage. Radical attempts to siphon surface water and induce eruptions have occasionally been tried on famous features such as Morning Glory Pool, with varying degrees of success. Damage also occurs when people leave walkways and climb on features, or occasionally break pieces of sinter or travertine off for souvenirs (Marler 1973).

19. Renewable Energy Annual 1996 The successful planned management of one U.S. KGRA, Coso hot springs, is described here. has been, the declining production at The geysers, located along the San Andreas Fault in http://www.eia.doe.gov/cneaf/solar.renewables/renewable.energy.annual/chap11.htm

Home Renewables Renewables Publications Renewable Energy Annual 1996 Chapter 11 11. Management of Known Geothermal Resource Areas An ongoing issue in the geothermal power industry is the prudent management of finite geothermal resources. Known geothermal resource areas (KGRAs) in the United States with resource conditions sufficient to generate electricity are rare, occurring domestically only in the Western United States and Hawaii, with an estimated electricity generating capacity of 27,400 megawatts, which is believed to be sustainable for 40 years. Of the currently identified resource base in the United States, around 3,000 megawatts of capacity, or about 10 percent of the estimated total, was installed as of 1995. The successful planned management of one U.S. KGRA, Coso Hot Springs, is described here. The major industry concern about KGRAs is, and for the past decade has been, the declining production at The Geysers, located along the San Andreas Fault in Sonoma County, California. The Geysers KGRA produces more electricity than any other geothermal field in the world. This chapter presents historical information on the geology, sale, corporate structure, and financial aspects of The Geysers project, specifically addressing the production decline, plans for a pipeline that will carry wastewater to one corner of the field for injection as a strategy for mitigating the decline, and lessons learned from the production decline.

20. What Is The Relationship Of Volcanoes To Hot Springs, To Geysers, And To Geother Most, but not all, hot springs, geysers, and geothermal energy resources arerelated to volcanoes. Near volcanoes, magma heats the surrounding rocks. http://volcano.und.nodak.edu/vwdocs/frequent_questions/grp3/question595.html

What is the relationship of volcanoes to hot springs, to geysers, and to geothermal energy? Mark Zevenbergen Dear Mark, Most, but not all, hot springs, geysers, and geothermal energy resources are related to volcanoes. Near volcanoes, magma heats the surrounding rocks. When water percolates through these rocks it is heated. The hot water circulates to the surface to make hot springs. There are hot springs associated with Long Valley Caldera in California. If the "plumbing" conditions are right the water shots into the air to make a geyser. Yellowstone is famous for geysers. Geothermal energy uses the heat in the water to generate steam and drive turbines. Hot Springs National Park is an example where the heat is non-volcanic. The water is heated by circulating deep beneath the surface and then rising along faults. Steve Mattox, University of North Dakota Other Categories Other Questions To VolcanoWorld
