The water that erupts from a geyser originates from underground reservoirs where groundwater is heated by geothermal energy, typically from magma or hot rocks beneath the Earth's surface. As the water heats up, it becomes pressurized due to the overlying water and surrounding rock. When the pressure exceeds the strength of the surrounding rock, the superheated water is forcefully expelled through a vent, resulting in a geyser eruption. This process is often accompanied by steam and can create impressive displays of water jets.

Why do geysers erupt at regular intervals?

Is a geyser a natural source of water?
Yes, a geyser is natural. A geyser requires three critical elements in order to form: a water supply, a heat source, and the proper kind of underground water circulation system.

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.
