What kind of spectacle is a geyser?

On the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, known as the roof of the world, there is the Yarlung Zangbo River. There is a strange phenomenon in the middle reaches of the Dajiang River. There are often many cooked fish floating on the river, steaming as if they have just been cooked. Which famous chef is this masterpiece? It turns out that this is the superb "craft" of nature. There are many geysers in the river here, which spray boiling water and steam into the river at regular intervals. The fish that were swimming here to look for food were unable to avoid this sudden attack and became "boiled alive."

In the western section of the Himalayas, Tagaya in Angren County has a geyser. Waiting by the spring, you can faintly hear the rumbling underground, and the water level in the hot water pond slowly rises. The water column of the spring in the pond rises and falls suddenly. After several repetitions, there is a sudden loud noise. Under the blue sky, a silver water column with a diameter of two meters rises, filled with steam, roaring into the sky, reaching a height of more than 20 meters. . The steam from the top of the pillar soars upwards and can reach forty or fifty meters. There are flying beads and jade splashing around the fountain, and the clouds are steaming and the clouds are shining, which is very spectacular. The Chabu Geyser in Xietongmen County, adjacent to Angren County to the east, has another interesting feature. The height of its eruption is limited, and the maximum eruption height is only 7 meters. However, the eruptions are very frequent, with up to 208 eruptions every day and night! When watching the spring here, you will never feel bored waiting.

Scientists believe that the greater the pressure, the higher the boiling point. The boiling point of water under standard atmospheric pressure is 100 degrees Celsius; if it is 88.5 meters underground, the boiling point reaches 5 degrees Celsius. When water seeps into the ground from cracks, there is a large "water chamber" underground. There is a huge heat source in the lower part of the water chamber to heat the water. When the water temperature rises to a certain level, the hot water begins to vaporize, and the pressure in the water chamber gradually increases. When it reaches a certain level, the boiling water and steam rush to the spring mouth and eject into the sky. After the eruption stops, the water chamber continues to fill with water, preparing for the next eruption.
