A geyser (/ ˈɡaɪzər /, UK: / ˈɡiːzər /) [1][2] is a spring with an intermittent discharge of water ejected turbulently and accompanied by steam. The formation of geysers is fairly rare, and is caused by particular hydrogeological conditions that exist only in a few places on Earth. Generally, geyser field sites are located near active ...

List of Yellowstone geothermal features. Coordinates: 44°33′46″N 110°50′19″W. Map all coordinates using OpenStreetMap. This is a sortable table of the notable geysers, hot springs, and other geothermal features in the geothermal areas of Yellowstone National Park . Geothermal features of Yellowstone.
The geothermal areas of Yellowstone include several geyser basins in Yellowstone National Park as well as other geothermal features such as hot springs, mud pots, and fumaroles. The number of thermal features in Yellowstone is estimated at 10,000. [ 1 ] A study [ 2 ] that was completed in 2011 found that a total of 1,283 geysers have erupted in ...
Geothermal activity is a group of natural heat transfer processes, occurring on Earth's surface, caused by the presence of excess heat in the subsurface of the affected area, usually caused by the presence of an igneous intrusion underground. [1] Geothermal activity can manifest itself in a variety of different phenomena, including, among ...
Water heating is a heat transfer process that uses an energy source to heat water above its initial temperature. Typical domestic uses of hot water include cooking, cleaning, bathing, and space heating. In industry, hot water and water heated to steam have many uses. Domestically, water is traditionally heated in vessels known as water heaters ...
Geothermal energy is thermal energy extracted from the Earth's crust. It combines energy from the formation of the planet and from radioactive decay. Geothermal energy has been exploited as a source of heat and/or electric power for millennia. Geothermal heating, using water from hot springs, for example, has been used for bathing since ...
A hot spring, hydrothermal spring, or geothermal spring is a spring produced by the emergence of geothermally heated groundwater onto the surface of the Earth. The groundwater is heated either by shallow bodies of magma (molten rock) or by circulation through faults to hot rock deep in the Earth's crust. Hot spring water often contains large ...
