šŸŒ‹ Geysers: Nature’s Water‑rocket

A geyser is a special kind of hot spring that shoots water and steam high into the air. It looks like a tiny volcano, but it is made of water, not lava!

1. What Is a Geyser?

  • A geyser is a hole in the ground where water comes out Very Fast.
  • The water is Hot because it sits near hot rocks deep underground.

2. How Does It Work?

  1. Rain Or Snow falls on the ground and seeps down into the earth.
  2. The water reaches hot rocks and becomes warm.
  3. Warm water turns into Steam, which pushes the water up.
  4. When enough steam builds up, it Bursts Out like a fountain.

Think of a kettle on the stove: when the water gets hot, steam whistles and pushes the lid up. A geyser does the same thing, only far bigger!

3. Where Do Geysers Live?

  • Most geysers are found in places with Volcanoes or Hot Rocks.
  • Famous geyser fields are in Yellowstone (Usa), Iceland, and New Zealand.

How Volcanoes Form

From Magma to Mountain

Volcanoes grow where tectonic plates collide or drift apart. Heat melts rock into light, buoyant magma that rises, cools, and hardens near the surface, building the cone layer by layer.
