Super heated water drives the geyser and when it erupts the supply of hot water decreases and the show stops. When the volume and pressure build up the show begins again.

What causes geysers to erupt?
the most common cause for a geyser to erupt is due to a tempreature and pressure problem. many plumbers who dont know how to install geyers properly, plug off the TP safety valve outlet (Temp and Pressure), what happens, the thermostat in the geyser fails and cannot control the tempreature inside the geyser, causing the geyser to over boil, which then creates extra pressure (because of the steam) within the geyser, so when that safety outlet is plugged off the geyser takes an enormous amount of strain, and then it finally explodes. it can be devestating and has known to rip roofs off houses.

Is the water that comes out of a geyser hot or cold?
Most geysers erupt hot water, however there are a few cold water geysers in the world. The reason why they 'erupt' is due to pressure, it has nothing to do with water temperature.
How ar geysers formed?
Geyers are fountains of water and steam. They form when that steam builds up pressure underground and erupts at regular intervals. They are formed when steam produced underground breaks through the surface. Here is a site with more information than you probably want to know about geysers: http://www.uweb.ucsb.edu/~glennon/geysers/

Because you can figure out when it will erupt and to learn what lava is made out of
Why was it important to fill the box with water at regular intervals?

When is yellow stone super volcano going to erupt?
The last magmatic eruption of Yellowstone was about 70,000 years ago while the last super eruption was about 640,000 years ago. We have no way of predicting when it will erupt again as, contrary to popular belief, it does not erupt at regular intervals.
How do you get past the geysers on Reality TV Island?

How does a home geyser work?
