Cold-water geyser
Cold-water geyser (soda pop geyser, CO2-driven geyser): a spring erupting cold water below 20 °C via exsolving carbon dioxide, not steam. Type example Crystal Geyser, Utah, created by a 1936 oil well; studied as analogs of CO2 sequestration leakage.
El Tatio
El Tatio is a geyser field at about 4,300 m elevation in the Atacama Desert of northern Chile, one of the world's largest, with over 80 thermal features across 10 km2, studied geysers El Jefe and El Cobreloa, and community co-management since 2006.
Fly Geyser
Fly Geyser (Fly Ranch Geyser) is a small, constantly erupting geothermal geyser on private Fly Ranch in Washoe County, Nevada, about 20 miles north of Gerlach, created accidentally by a 1964 geothermal test well and now owned by the Burning Man Project.
Geothermal areas of Yellowstone
Geothermal areas of Yellowstone: about 120 thermal areas in Yellowstone National Park holding over 10,000 hot springs, geysers, mudpots, and fumaroles, including half of Earth's active geysers, heated by a magma chamber 5 to 10 miles below the surface.
Geyser eruptive mechanics
Geyser eruptive mechanics is the study of how geysers work: the subsurface reservoirs, constricted conduits, and boiling processes behind their periodic eruptions of water and steam.
Geyser types
Geyser types are the two classes of Earth's geysers: fountain geysers, which erupt from pools, and cone geysers, which erupt from mounds of siliceous sinter called geyserite.
Geysir
Geysir (Great Geysir) is the famous geyser of Haukadalur, South Iceland, whose name gave English the word "geyser"; first recorded in the 13th century, historically erupting up to 70 m, now mostly dormant beside the active Strokkur.
Grand Prismatic Spring
Grand Prismatic Spring, in Midway Geyser Basin, Yellowstone National Park, is the largest hot spring in the United States and third largest in the world, famed for rainbow thermophile color bands.
Old Faithful
Old Faithful, a cone geyser in Yellowstone National Park's Upper Geyser Basin, Wyoming, erupts boiling water up to 184 feet every 54 minutes to about two hours.
Soda geyser
A soda geyser, also called a Mentos and coke geyser, is a fountain of carbonated liquid produced when dissolved carbon dioxide erupts from a soda, famously after Mentos candy is dropped in.
Steamboat Geyser
Steamboat Geyser, in Norris Geyser Basin, Yellowstone, is the world's tallest active geyser, with major eruptions over 91 m, intervals of 3 days to 50 years, and active phases in the 1960s, 1980s, and since 2018.
Valley of Geysers (Долина гейзеров)
The Valley of Geysers (Dolina Geizerov) is a geyser field in the Kronotsky State Nature Reserve on the Kamchatka Peninsula, Russia, discovered in 1941 by geologist Tatiana Ustinova.
