A geyser is the result of underground water under the combined conditions of high temperatures and increased pressure beneath the surface of the each. Since temperatue rises approximately one degree F for every sixty feet under the earth’s surface, and pressure increases with depth, water that seeps down in crachs and fissures until it reaches very hot rocks in the earth’s interior becomes heated to a temperatue in excess of 290 degrees F. Because of the gressure, it shoots out of the surface in the form of steam and hot water. The result is a geyser.For the most part, geysers are located in three regions of the world : New Zealand, Iceland, and the Yellowstone National Park area of the United States.
