Geyser
A geyser (, ) is a spring characterized by an intermittent discharge of water ejected turbulently and accompanied by steam. As a fairly rare phenomenon, the formation of geysers is due to particular hydrogeological conditions that exist only in a few places on Earth. Generally all geyser field sites are located near active volcanic areas, and the geyser effect is due to the proximity of magma. Generally, surface water works its way down to an average depth of around where it contacts hot rocks. The resultant boiling of the pressurized water results in the geyser effect of hot water and steam spraying out of the geyser's surface vent (a hydrothermal explosion). A geyser's eruptive activity may change or cease due to ongoing mineral deposition within the geyser plumbing, exchange of functions with nearby hot springs, earthquake influences, and human intervention. Like many other natural phenomena, geysers are not unique to Earth. Jet-like eruptions, often referred to as cry ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Geyser (Mars)
Martian geysers (or jets) are putative sites of small gas and dust eruptions that occur in the south polar region of Mars during the spring thaw. "Dark dune spots" and "spiders" – or araneiforms – are the two most visible types of features ascribed to these eruptions. Martian geysers are distinct from geysers on Earth, which are typically associated with hydrothermal activity. These are unlike any terrestrial geological phenomenon. The reflectance ( albedo), shapes and unusual spider appearance of these features have stimulated a variety of hypotheses about their origin, ranging from differences in frosting reflectance, to explanations involving biological processes. However, all current geophysical models assume some sort of jet or geyser-like activity on Mars. Their characteristics, and the process of their formation, are still a matter of debate. These features are unique to the south polar region of Mars in an area informally called the 'cryptic region', at latitudes ...

Geysir
Geysir (), sometimes known as The Great Geysir, is a geyser in southwestern Iceland. It was the first geyser described in a printed source and the first known to modern Europeans. The English word ''geyser'' (a periodically spouting hot spring) derives from Geysir. The name ''Geysir'' itself is derived from the Icelandic verb '' geysa'' ("to gush"). Geysir lies in the Haukadalur valley on the slopes of Laugarfjall hill, which is also the home to Strokkur geyser about south. Eruptions at Geysir can hurl boiling water up to in the air. However, eruptions may be infrequent, and have in the past stopped altogether for many years at a time. History The research of sinter shows that Geysir has been active for approximately 10,000 years. The oldest accounts of hot springs at Haukadalur date back to 1294, when earthquakes in the area caused significant changes in local neighbouring landscape creating several new hot springs. Changes in the activity of Geysir and the surrounding ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Storage Water Heater
A storage water heater, or a hot water system (HWS), is a domestic water heating appliance that uses a hot water storage tank to maximize water heating capacity and provide instantaneous delivery of hot water. Conventional storage water heaters use a variety of fuels, including natural gas, propane, fuel oil, and electricity. Less conventional water heating technologies, such as heat pump water heaters and solar water heaters, can also be categorized as storage water heaters. Difference between a storage heater and an instant heater The primary difference between a storage heater and an instant heater is that a storage system can deliver hot water instantly, and an instant heater takes an amount of time to heat the water first. Instant water heaters, as the name suggests, provide hot water almost instantaneously. There is hardly 1 or 2 minutes of heating time after which hot water can be accessed. But given the low storage capacity (max at a given point of time) of these types ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Be The Cowboy
''Be the Cowboy'' is the fifth studio album by Japanese-American indie rock musician Mitski, released on August 17, 2018, through Dead Oceans. Produced by longtime collaborator Patrick Hyland, the album widens Mitski's palette with a return to the piano featured on her first two records alongside synthesizers, horns and the guitar that became her signature instrument. Upon its release, ''Be the Cowboy'' received widespread acclaim from music critics, who later ranked it among the best albums of 2018. It was preceded by the singles "Geyser", " Nobody", and "Two Slow Dancers". ''Be the Cowboy'' was Mitski's first album to chart on the Billboard 200, and also entered the charts in Canada, Ireland, and the United Kingdom. Writing and recording In a statement, Mitski said she experimented in narrative and fiction for the album, and said she was inspired by "the image of someone alone on a stage, singing solo with a single spotlight trained on them in an otherwise dark room."

Geyser (song)
"Geyser" is a song by American singer Mitski, released on May 14, 2018, as the lead single from her fifth studio album, '' Be the Cowboy''. She performed the song on ''The Daily Show'' in September 2018. Background About the song, Mitski said "I think this is one of my vaguest songs. Usually my songs have a narrative of some sort. But this song is all feeling." It was the first song to be written for ''Be the Cowboy''. Mitski said: I started to write it in college; it's the song I've taken the longest to write. It had become my White Whale - ''Moby Dick'' reference - where I couldn't get it right. Every time I thought I'd finished it it just didn't feel right, so I kept changing it. It's gone through many iterations; probably people who went to school with me, who've been in seminars with me, are like "wait, I heard that somewhere..." And then I finally got to a point where I was like "you know what, I need to end this, I'm never gonna be happy with it so let me finish it." So I ...

Geyser, Montana
Geyser is a small, unincorporated rural village in Judith Basin County, Montana, United States, southeast of Great Falls along U.S. Route 87. History The town's name originated from the mud springs in the area in which the town was first founded. P. J. O’Hara, considered the father of Geyser, started a hotel here in 1887, and other businesses soon followed. Geyser was moved to its present location with the construction of the Great Northern rail line between Great Falls and Billings. Geography Geyser is in northwestern Judith Basin County in a broad valley between the Highwood Mountains to the north and the Little Belt Mountains to the south. U.S. Route 87 runs along the south edge of the community, leading northwest to Great Falls and southeast to Stanford, the Judith Basin county seat. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the Geyser CDP has an area of , all of it recorded as land. The community sits on a low bench between McCarthy Creek to the east and Crow Coulee to the ...

The Geysers
The Geysers is the world's largest geothermal field, containing a complex of 18 geothermal power plants, drawing steam from more than 350 wells, located in the Mayacamas Mountains approximately north of San Francisco, California. Geysers produced about 20% of California's renewable energy in 2019. History For about 12,000 years, Native American tribes built steambaths and thermal pools at the Geysers and used the steam and hot water for healing purposes, as well as spiritual and ceremonial practices, and cooking. The thermal pools were used as a medicinal treatment for rheumatism and arthritis. While the heated muds were used to soothe skin rashes and other aches and pains, using the fumaroles as a natural energy source. When European Americans first entered the area, six Indian tribes inhabited the area around the Geysers, three bands of Pomo people, two bands of Wappo people, and the Lake Miwok people. The Wappo also collected sulfur which they called ''te'ke'' and a Wappo v ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Cold-water Geyser
Cold-water geysers have eruptions similar to those of hot-water geysers, except that -bubbles drive the eruption instead of steam from the proximity to magma. In cold-water geysers, -laden water lies in a confined aquifer, in which water and are trapped by less permeable overlying strata. This water and can escape this strata only in weak regions like faults, joints, or drilled wells. A drilled borehole provides an escape for the pressurized water and to reach the surface. The magnitude and frequency of such eruptions depend on various factors such as plumbing depth, concentrations, aquifer yield, etc. The column of water exerts enough pressure on the gaseous so that it remains in the water in small bubbles. When the pressure decreases due to formation of a fissure, the bubbles expand. This expansion displaces the water and causes the eruption. Cold-water geysers may look quite similar to their steam-driven counterparts; however, often -laden water is more white and frothy. Th ...

Geyser (fireboat, 1886)
The ''Geyser'' was a steam powered fireboat built for Chicago, Illinois in 1886. Chicago had operated three earlier vessels, as fireboats, but they had all been retrofits. The ''Geyser'' was specifically designed as a fireboat, after Fire Marshall Denis J. Swenie Denis may refer to: People * Saint Denis of Paris, 3rd-century Christian martyr and first bishop of Paris * Denis the Areopagite, Biblical figure * Denis, son of Ampud (died 1236), baron in the Kingdom of Hungary * Denis the Carthusian (1402– ... visited eastern cities to learn from their purpose-built fireboats. The vessel was designed to be able to break ice, as necessary, so it could operate in the winter. When Chicago added the ''Yosemite'' to its fleet of fireboats, it was reported to have been the same size as the ''Geyser'', but "...has more power as a waterthrower." In 1903 the ''Geyser'' was renamed the ''Denis J. Swenie''. References Fireboats of Chicago {{Ship-stub ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
