What process is responsible for the volcanic activity in Yellowstone?

Geysers like "Old Faithful" and "Steamboat" in Yellowstone are natural hot springs and the area is a permanent magma "hot spot." Due to the close proximity of the water therein to the magma under the Earth's surface, the water feeding the springs gets hot enough to boil in large quantities, causing steam to burst upwards through the Earth's crust.
If a tea kettle was the hollow area of a hot spring, the spout would be the geyser.
Imagine the heat of a stove as the heat from the Earth's magma; eventually the water gets hot enough to boil and the steam shoots out of the spout.

Does Mars have volcanic craters?
AnswerThere is extensive evidence of past volcanic activity on Mars in the form of extinct volcanoes, the most famous of which is Olympus Mons, the highest known mountain in the Solar System. However, there is no current volcanic activity on Mars and it is apparent that Mars has undergone a cooling process, leading to all volcanic activity ceasing.There is extensive evidence of past volcanic activity on Mars in the form of extinct volcanoes, the most famous of which is Olympus Mons, the highest known mountain in the Solar System.
