Geysers are more than just pretty eruptions of water and steam-- they're complicated geologic events. But how do they work? We thought we knew, but turns out we had it all wrong. • Read More: • How Geysers Work • http://science.howstuffworks.com/envi... • Imagine taking all of the water from your neighborhood swimming pool, pouring it into a massive, magma-powered pressure cooker and shooting the water hundreds of feet in the air. • Massive Yellowstone geyser puts on a surprise show • http://www.cnn.com/2013/08/01/us/yell... • Everyone knows the story of Old Faithful.

A magma chamber provides the heat, which radiates into surrounding rock. Water from rain and snow works its way underground through fractures in the rock. • Geysers and How They Work • http://www.nps.gov/yell/naturescience... • Sprinkled amid the hot springs are the rarest fountains of all, the geysers. What makes them rare and distinguishes them from hot springs is that somewhere, usually near the surface in the plumbing system of a geyser, there are one or more constrictions. • Watch More: • How Sinkholes Are Formed: • • How Scary Sinkholes Are Formed • Rare Earth Minerals: • • Why We Need Rare Earth Elements • Rubik's Cube History: • • Rubik's Cube - Hidden Genius • ____________________ • DNews is dedicated to satisfying your curiosity and to bringing you mind-bending stories perspectives you won't find anywhere else!
