Many people may not be aware of what kind of geyser exists, but it is actually a special wonder that nature has gifted to us humans. Geysers are usually dry and dripping with water, but once the geyser erupts, it will erupt with a rumbling sound, and the sound is particularly loud, and the water that erupts is usually a hot spring.
Especially in some of the more volcanically active areas, such as Iceland, there are many different geysers, and the water that comes out of such geysers is often quite rich in minerals.
In Iceland, the most special geyser is of course the Stokoe Geyser, which erupts more often than others, with each eruption lasting from four to eight minutes, and the height of each eruption is different, even up to more than 40 meters in the air, and the temperature of the water may reach more than 120 degrees when it just erupts from the ground.
The geysers here are basically rhythmic eruptions, and the water that erupts forms rivers, which has become one of the most attractive tourist features of Iceland.
When you walk into the Stokoe Geyser, you can feel the heat from a distance. There are hot springs flowing all over the place, and the heat is so hot that it feels like smoke and fog all year round.
When the Tok Geyser is ready to erupt, a rumbling sound can be heard from a distance, and this sound will get louder and louder, and eventually in that moment it will break through the ground, like a column of water rushing into the air, of course, this white steam will also fill the whole air, and will also make a nuisance sound, and eventually this eruption will gradually calm down.
Want to form a geyser, first of all, there must be a strong pressure, and then there must be enough energy, that is, in the crustal activity is more active in places where there is hot magma activity, will be able to provide sufficient energy for the geyser.
But the geyser eruption, but also a complex set of water supply system, which means that the geyser is actually all connected to a deep spring channel. In the channel at the bottom of the spring was hot lava baking hot, and then through this channel in the role of high pressure directly from the underground water column sprayed out of the ground to form this tumbling spring.
Of course, after the eruption, this pressure will certainly be reduced, so the water temperature will gradually decline, and this eruption will also temporarily stop, of course, this stop is not permanent, because in the underground and will continue to accumulate energy, increasing pressure, and eventually the next wave of eruptions, so there will be a continuous cycle of intermittent fountains.
The world's largest geyser is still in Iceland, known as the Great Geyser, the Great Geyser is located in Iceland's capital Reykjavik, eighty kilometers northeast. The depth of this geyser is around 1.2 meters, and the diameter of the spring reaches ten meters, and the incredible thing is that its spring erupts with a water column of more than 60 meters, so it is called the king of all geysers in Iceland.
The geyser's eruption time, however, does not have any rules. Generally speaking, the time is relatively short and may appear once in about five hours, while the longest time is only once in 36 hours, during which it also changes over time, with each eruption lasting about one to two minutes.
