A hot spring that intermittently erupts a spray of steam and hot water. Caused by the heating of ground water within a confined opening in hot rock.
A hot spring that throws hot water and steam into the air. The heat is thought to result from the contact of groundwater with magma bodies.
Boiling hot water that is violently ejected from underground when some of the water is converted to steam. Old Faithful in Yellowstone National Park is the most famous example.
A column of water ejected into the air from a pump. Fountain heads
a spring that discharges hot water and steam
a form of natural hot spring that sometimes spurts steam and water into the air
a grumpy old man and a water heater is that "thing" in the roof that heats your water in your house
a hole in the earth's crust, spouting fountains of boiling water
a hot spring that erupts at intervalsin a column of hot
a hot spring that occasionally erupts, squirting water into the air
a hot spring that periodically erupts, throwing water into the air
a hot spring that throws forth jets of water and steam intermittently
a hot spring which at regular or irregular intervals throws a column of steam and hot water into the air
a hot spring, which erupts intermittently in a column of steam and hot water
a hot spring which erupts periodically
a natural hot spring that regularly shoots a fountain of steam and boiling water into the air
a natural hot-water fountain
a natural hot water source which makes eruption periodically
an intermittent spout of geothermally heated groundwater
a special kind of hot spring that builds up pressure over time and releases a big jet of steam and water into the air
a special type of hot spring that erupts periodically, ejecting a column of hot water and steam into the air
a special type of hot spring that periodically sends its water into the air
a spouting hot spring which discharges water and steam
a spring that sprays out blasts of heated water and steam
a very violent ejection of hot water and steam through a vent
A hot spring that periodically ejects water some height above the surrounding surface.
A geothermal feature characterized by periodic eruptions of superheated water and steam.
On Earth , a geyser tends to be a hot spring of water bubbling below the surface, which occasionally boils over, sending jets metres into the air. Elsewhere in the Solar System, however, geysers can form from gases and be much more dramatic. The nitrogen geysers on Triton, Neptune's moon, reach several kilometres into the atmosphere.
a regular spray of hot water and steam from underground into the air.
A spring that throws forth bursts of hot water and steam
a hot spring equipped with a system of plumbing and heating that causes intermittent eruptions of water and steam.
A geyser is a natural hot spring that occasionally sprays water and steam above the ground.
natural spring marked by the intermittent escape of hot water and steam.
A thermal spring that intermittently erupts steam and boiling water.
a thermal spring that erupts intermittently and to different heights above the surface of the Earth; eruptions occur when water deep in the spring is heated enough to turn into steam, which forces the liquid water above it out into the air
a column of steam or water which periodically shoots out of the ground under pressure from the heating of the water at depth
A natural fountain of hot water which spurts from underground, often found near volcanoes
A special type of thermal spring that periodically ejects water with great force.
A type of hot spring that intermittently erupts jets of hot water and steam, the result of groundwater coming into contact with rock hot enough to create steam under conditions preventing free circulation. Many of the best examples are found in Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming.
a fountain of hot water and steam that shoots into the air at regular or irregular intervals
A spring from which columns of hot water gush. On land, geysers discharge steam as well as hot water into the air; deep under the ocean, pressure keeps the water from turning into steam and the discharge is into the surrounding seawater.
eruptive spring from which hot water and (or) steam and in some cases mud are periodically thrown.
a geothermal feature of the Earth where there is an opening in the surface that contains superheated water that periodically erupts in a shower of water and steam.
a type of hot spring seen on land that episodically erupts jets of hot water and steam. It results from ground water being heated by coming in contact with hot rock deep in the Earth's crust, and then rising to the surface. | | | | | | | | | | N | O | | | | | | | X | Y | Z
gas-powered domestic water heater
A spring from which columns of boiling water and steam gush into the air at intervals.
a natural spring that spouts a column of hot water and steam into the air at frequent and irregular intervals. [AHDOS
fountain that develops when water from a conduit is forced up to the surface of a glacier; also called a negative mill.
A spring that shoots jets of hot water and steam into the air.
A hot spring that ejects intermittent jets of water and steam. The action results from heating of groundwater circulating through hot rock under conditions that prevent continuous circulation.
