Download or read book Geysers and Hot Springs written by Therese Shea and published by Encyclopaedia Britannica. This book was released on 2016-07-15 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Water that lurks beneath the Earth's surface is usually far easier to ignore than the water that covers it, until that water bursts forth above ground as geysers and hot springs. This engaging volume explains to young readers where this water comes from and its relationship to volcanic activity underground. They will also learn where on Earth these spectacular eruptions are found, how geothermal energy can be harnessed for our use, and much more. Striking images of Old Faithful and other geysers fill the pages of this informative volume, while additional geological principles are imparted through boxed questions and terms.

Download or read book Death in Yellowstone written by Lee H. Whittlesey and published by Roberts Rinehart. This book was released on 2014-01-07 with total page 441 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The chilling tome that launched an entire genre of books about the often gruesome but always tragic ways people have died in our national parks, this updated edition of the classic includes calamities in Yellowstone from the past sixteen years, including the infamous grizzly bear attacks in the summer of 2011 as well as a fatal hot springs accident in 2000. In these accounts, written with sensitivity as cautionary tales about what to do and what not to do in one of our wildest national parks, Whittlesey recounts deaths ranging from tragedy to folly—from being caught in a freak avalanche to the goring of a photographer who just got a little too close to a bison. Armchair travelers and park visitors alike will be fascinated by this important book detailing the dangers awaiting in our first national park.

Download or read book Geysers and Geothermal Energy written by John S. Rinehart and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Geysers. What makes them work? Many who have seen a geyser in action know only that it spouts hot water into the air. Many others have never seen one. Chapter 1, Geysers of the World, delineates their distinguishing features, locates the geyser regions of the world, and places investigations by world travelers and scientists in historic perspective. One of the quickest ways to become acquainted with a geyser is to observe it. The descriptions of several well known geysers, some based on past observations by others, but frequently by me, do not neces sarily portray current behavior. They do, however, represent general features. Geysers exist as a result of a delicate and unique interplay among the heat, the water, and the rocks of the earth. In essence, heat and water must be available, transported, distributed, stored, and finally released. Chapter 2, The Geologic, Thermal, and Hydrologic State of the Earth, especially that close to its surface, sets the stage for Chapter 3, Fundamentals of Geyser Operation. The geyser is treated here as a simple system consisting of three major interacting elements: a source of water, a source of heat, and a reservoir for storing water. The discus sion centers around the actions occurring within idealized columnar and pool geysers, and more complex systems. Some of the more workable geyser theories are evaluated.
Download or read book Gold and Other Minor Elements Associated with the Hot Springs and Geysers of Yellowstone National Park Wyoming Supplemented with Data from Steamboat Springs Nevada written by Donald Edward White and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A commonly held theory of the origin of epithermal ore deposits relates Au, Ag, Hg, As, Sb, Tl, and other "volatile" elements to "fossil" hot-spring systems that transported and deposited these metallic elements close to the ground surface existing at the time. In the early 1970's, an emission-spectrographic method using short-wavelength radiation (SWR) was developed for use in the analysis of these "volatile" elements. This method was applied to 125 samples of rock and hot-spring chemical precipitates from Yellowstone National Park and 43 samples from Steamboat Springs, Nev. The results of those analyses are presented here. Recently, other, more sensitive methods for the analyses of gold and volatile elements have been developed and (or) become less expensive, but these methods generally have not yet been applied to Yellowstone samples. -- First paragraph.

This book was released on 1996 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Waters from hot springs, pools, and geysers have been analyzed by numerous investigators throughout the history of Yellowstone National Park. The chemistry of the more easily accessible major geyser basins and a significant number of Yellowstone thermal waters on the eastern side of the Yellowstone River has been compiled by Gooch and Whitfield (1888), Allen and Day (1935), Rowe andothers (1973), Thompson and others (1975), Thompson and Yadav (1979), and Kharaka and others (1992). The first comprehensive study of Shoshone Geyser Basin was made by A.H. Truesdell in 1972-73 (Truesdell and Thompson, 1982). Many of the concepts presented in that report are applicable to other Yellowstone thermal areas. Locations of the major thermal water basins mentioned in this report can be found in Figure 1. The collection of data on the hot and cold springs of Yellowstone National Park is important in understanding the geothermal chemistry of this system. Geochemical changes that occur over time, the disappearance of existing springs, the appearance of new ones and geochemical changes in spring waters prior to earthquakes, can be monitored. Especially important are those springs for which there is little or no data.-Introduction.

Book excerpt: Andean heat engine, volcanoes driving thermal fluids, springs and geysers bubbling in the mountains, from high plateaus to glacial fjords, Hot Springs of the Andes provides the essential advice on exploring the hidden secrets of natural relaxation. GPS coordinates for each hot spring accompany descriptions. Hot springs are placed in the context of the main volcanic zones of the Andes. Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Chile, and Argentina; each country paints a different cultural experience for enjoying hot springs with many locations having use dating before the Incas. With a touch of geology to stimulate the mind, each steaming pool is a story of subduction, magma, earthquakes, and erosion; all greater riddles to ponder while engaged in deep whole body thermal immersions.
