Book excerpt: Excerpt from Radioactivity of the Thermal Water of Yellowstone National Park The United States Geological Survey defrayed the greater portion of the expense connected with the field tests of this investigation. The Northern Pacific Railway furnished transportation between St. Paul and Gardiner, Mont. The University of Missouri and Butler College loaned most of the scientific apparatus used in the field tests, and the determinations of radium present in the spring deposits and rock samples were conducted in the chemical laboratories of these institutions. The field work came under the direction of C. W. Hayes and Arnold Hague, of the United States Geological Survey. Doctor Hague also placed at our disposal several specimens of typical rocks, which were used in determining the radium content of rocks. Maj. John Pitcher, U. S. Army, extended numerous facilities that materially aided in the field experiments. Capt. William H. For sythe, U. S. Army, collected several samples of travertine for us at Mammoth Hot Springs. The noncommissioned officers stationed at the military posts throughout the park assisted in various ways.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Yellowstone: A Natural and Human History, Yellowstone National Park, Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming While 19th - century Americans prized Yellow stone's wonders for their curiosity, they also valued them as manifestations of natural processes that might expand human horizons. The l870s saw the establishment of us. Geological surveys as well as the park. One of Yellowstone's main explorers, Ferdinand Hayden, was a government geologist. Members of Congress would not have voted to pre serve Yellowstone if it had seemed only an infernalamusement park. They were well aware of the deeper implications of all that steam rushing forth from the ground and water crashing over falls - such forces drove industrial development then. Geology was a cutting-edge science of the mid-19th century. Geol ogy then was like space exploration would be to the mid-2oth century, and the Yellowstone area was its Mars. Yellowstone was that faraway, alien place where theories could be tested by observing natural forces still at work in spectacularly pristine ways. This noble deed may be regarded as a tribute from our legislators to science, Hayden wrote about the park's creation. The new way of regarding the Earth was not con fined to geologists and legislators. The fur trapper Joe Meek expressed it in rudimentary but vivid lan guage in 1829. Meek likened one of Yellowstone's geyser basins to the industrial city of Pittsburgh. Three young frontiersmen who explored the region 40 years later echoed Meek, calling one hot spring concentration the chemical works.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming There are about geysers and hot springs in the park. Most of them are located in the six principal geyser basins, the Norris, Lower, Midway, Upper, Heart Lake, and Shoshone Basins, all lying in the west and south central parts of the park. The geysers exhibit a large variety of character and action. Some, like Old Faithful, Daisy, and Riverside, spout at quite regular intervals; others are irregular. Some burst upward with immense power; others shoot streams at angles or bubble and foam in action. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2017-09-16 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Geological History of the Yellowstone National Park The central portion of the Yellowstone Park is, essentially, a broad, elevated, volcanic plateau, between 7000 and 8500 feet above sea-level, and with an average elevation of about 8000 feet. Sur rounding it on the south, east, north, and northwest, are mountain ranges with culminating peaks and ridges rising from 2000 to 4000 feet above the general level of the enclosed table-land. For present purposes it is needless to confine ourselves strictly to legal boundaries, but rather to consider the entire region in its broader physical features. It is worthy of note, however, that by the proposed enlargement the protected area will agree closely with the geographical province.

This book was released on 2017-12-11 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Yellowstone National Park While the geysers of Yellowstone are largely confined to particular areas, other hot-water manifestations occur at more widely separated points. Marvelously colored hot springs, mud volcanoes, and other strange phenomena compel attention. In certain sections, as at Mammoth, hot water has brought to the surface quantities of white mineral deposits forming high terraces on which are beautifully encrusted basins covering, in places, trees of considerable size. The hot water flows over the edges of these basins. Well-marked walks enable you to study the formations at close range and in safety. Please keep on these walks; in many places the crust is thin and walking on it is extremely dangerous. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Geysers of the Yellowstone National Park Classic Reprint written by Walter Harvey Weed and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-28 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Geysers of the Yellowstone National Park The hot-water fountains, called geysers, are natural wonders that are of general as well as scientific interest. The striking manifestation which they afford of the earth's internal heat, their great beauty, and novel surroundings make them indeed worthy of that widespread interest which they arouse, and it is in the hope of gratifying a general curiosity concerning these wonderful fountains that the present paper has been written. At the outset of this inquiry into the nature and occurrence of these natural steam engines it is necessary to exactly define what is a geyser. Briefly, a geyser is a hot spring which intermittently ejects a column of boiling water and steam. Before attempting to present such a general account of the various geyser regions of the world as will enable the reader to follow the deductions derived from a study of the occurrence and the characteristics of geysers, it may be well to present a summary of the paper. It is believed that the facts recorded in this article show: First. That geysers occur only in volcanic regions and in acid volcanic rocks. In Iceland and New Zealand the volcanic fires are still active. Second. Geysers occur only along lines of drainage, on shores of lakes or other situations where meteoric waters would naturally seek the surface. Third. Geyser waters are meteoric waters which have not penetrated to great depths, but have been heated by ascending vapors. Fourth. The supply of heat is derived from great masses of lava slowly cooling from a state of former incandescence, heating waters, which, descending to the hot rocks, ascend as highly heated vapors.
