What forms when a spring is geothermally heated to the point that the water bursts throughout the surface in an upward stream of water and water vapor?
A geyser is formed when a spring is geothermally heated to the point that water underground reaches its boiling point and erupts through the surface in an upward stream of water and water vapor. The pressure from the boiling water builds up underground until it is released in a geyser eruption.
Why does a geyser shoot steam into the air?
Water is heated by an underground volcano and boils.
What causes a geyser to erupt?
A geyser erupts when water beneath the ground is heated by magma, creating pressure that forces the water to shoot out of the ground in a powerful burst.
What forms when a spring is geothermally heated to the point that the water bursts through the surface in an upward stream of water and water vapor?
A geyser is formed when a spring is geothermally heated to the point that the water bursts through the surface in an upward stream of water and water vapor. The eruption is caused by superheated water that has been heated by magma beneath the earth's surface.

How does the size of the opening of the tube determine if the Hot Springs or geyser is formed?
A geyser is essentially a hot spring that from time to time becomes hydro-dynamically and thermodynamically unstable. The eruption of a cone geyser occurs when super heated water in its tube is heated to the point where steam bubbles form
Can you tell on which process of heat transfer a geyser works?
A geyser works on the process of convection for heat transfer. As the water near the heat source (usually a heating element or flame) gets heated, it becomes less dense and rises, allowing colder water to take its place and also get heated. This creates a continuous cycle of heating and rising water, resulting in the geyser releasing hot water.
What role does it play in the eruption of a geyser?
The role of heat and pressure is crucial in the eruption of a geyser. Water seeps into the ground, where it is heated by geothermal energy from magma or hot rocks. When the pressure from the heated water and steam builds up to a critical point, it forces the water to erupt violently to the surface, creating a geyser. This process is driven by the unique geological conditions that allow for the accumulation of water and the presence of a constricted outlet.
How does electric geyser work?
An electric geyser works by heating water using electricity. When the geyser is turned on, an electric element inside the tank heats up the water to the desired temperature. The heated water rises to the top of the tank, ready for use, while cold water enters the bottom to be heated in its place.
