[1] It typically erupts every 6–10 minutes. [2] Its usual height is 15–20 metres (49–66 ft), although it can sometimes erupt up to 40 metres ...
These so-called artificial geysers, technically known as erupting geothermal wells, are not true geysers. Little Old Faithful Geyser, in Calistoga, California, is an example. The geyser erupts from the casing of a well drilled in the late 19th century, which opened up a dead geyser. [41]
The nearby geyser Strokkur erupts much more frequently than Geysir, erupting to heights of up to 35 metres (115 ft) every few minutes. [14] Strokkur was first described in 1789. [ 4 ] There is contrast in its lack of warning of eruption with the case of Geysir and evidence that the plumbing might not be totally independent. [ 12 ]
Riverside Geyser is a geyser in Yellowstone National Park in the U.S. state of Wyoming. The geyser is located on the Firehole River within the Upper Geyser Basin. The geyser shoots steam and water to heights of 75 feet (23 m) in an arch over the river, sometimes causing rainbows. The eruptions occur every 5 1 ⁄ 2 to 7 hours.
