Are their any geysers in the Philippines?

There are no natural geysers in the Philippines. Geysers are typically found in areas with high geothermal activity, such as Iceland and Yellowstone National Park. The Philippines does have some volcanic activity and hot springs, but not geysers.

Are geysers found on all continents?

No, geysers require the presence of large subterranean magma chambers to power them, they are NOT confined to continents. For instance the islands of Iceland and Newzealand both have extensive geyser fields, similar to those found in North America (Yellowstone). However this said all continents will have locations where there are hot springs or mud flows, but not necessarily geysers.


Which country lies along the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and is partially covered by Vatnajokull ice sheet?

Iceland lies along the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and is partially covered by the Vatnajokull ice sheet. The country's unique geology gives rise to geothermal activity and stunning landscapes of glaciers, geysers, and volcanoes.

Why are there so many geysers in new zealand?

Well, there are not so many. In 2004 there were apparently 58 geysers in NZ. They are uncommon objects anywhere in the world - perhaps only 1000 worldwide. Geysers are associated with volcanic activity, and the Taupo Volcanic Zone (which includes Rotorua) is the most important in NZ. Hot pools, geysers, fumaroles etc are produced by underlying volcanic activity. Some of the geysers and hot spring activity has been lost by the drowning due to hydro-electric projects, and some has been lost by over-exploitation by domestic withdrawal for house heating. The hot springs in the South Island, (none of which are associated with geysers) are all associated with faults in the ground, and are thought to be the result of the land rising through tectonic process, faster than it is cooling. All of these are East of the Alpine Fault. Have a look at teara.govt.nz for an expansive article.
