An underground spring that becomes boling hot and spews out into the air. is what?

Greetings!\n\nWhat you are describing is known as a geyser

They Form over hot water.

Yes. It will superheat and have a violent reaction when something touches it.

Ballbearings are dropped as a liquid in a vaccuum,are cooled on the way down, and hit the floor as a solid.\nLater,\nI watched a video on it in my Manufacturing Processes Class while in Mechanical Engineering. I suppose that would be my source, Mr_ Mars...

Hot springs are caused by pressure upon them by the ground above them. Some hot springs are also noted to have their resoviors be close to the surface and actually heated by the sun.\n\nPress your hand on the desk, with your other hand just rest it on the desk. After a while of pressing one hand you should begin to notice that one palm feels warmer. Imagine if there was water under your palm, it would get warmer too.\n\nBecause the water can often be very deep the pressure of the ground above them can cause large amounts of energy to be released in the form of heat, this is absorbed by the water and then eventually that water rises to the surface through cracks. The result is a nice bath.

This will explain what they are and how they occur. I have been to Yellowstone National Park and I have seen them.  They are very impressive to watch.\n\nwww.uweb.ucsb.edu\n\nWhat are geysers and why are they so rare?\nA geyser is a hot spring that periodically erupts, throwing water into the air. Though that sounds simple, geysers are extremely rare. As of December 2005, the total of active geysers on earth number approximately 1000. \n\n Conditions must be just right for geysers to occur. Three components must be present for geysers to exist: an abundant supply of water, an intense source of heat, and unique plumbing. Water is common in nature, heat can come from volcanic activity, but the plumbing is critical. For water to be thrown into the air, geyser plumbing must be water- and pressure-tight. Geyser scientists and observers have identified the volcanic rock rhyolite as being particularly effective at hosting geysers. Rhyolite is high in silica, which can deposit a water-tight seal along the walls of the geyser plumbing. Most of the geyser fields in the world are found in rhyolite or similar silica-laden rocks (like ignimbrite). The mixture of water, volcanic heat, and plumbing is exceptional at Yellowstone National Park. Over one-half of the world's geysers are located within the park's boundaries.\n\nIt is increasingly apparent that geysers must possess a fourth characteristic to exist: remoteness. Within the last fifty years, volcanic heat and abundant water have been increasingly harnessed to turn turbines for electricity production. Geothermal energy can be produced at any site where volcanic heat and water are readily available. Unfortunately, geyser fields are ideal for this type of energy production. Geothermal energy production steals the geysers' water, and destroys geyser activity (for example, Wairakei, New Zealand). A growing threat to geysers stems from mineral extraction. Hot groundwater may precipitate gold or other valuable minerals, and extraction may require removing the geyser plumbing itself. For example, in May 2003, mineral exploration at South America’s second largest geyser field (Puchuldiza, Chile), caused cessation in the field’s geysers. Few realize the actual rarity of geysers. As a result, many geyser fields have been destroyed and many others are being threatened. \n\n\nHow do geysers work?\n\nThe following is an excerpt from Scott Bryan's GEYSERS OF YELLOWSTONE, 3rd edition, copyright 2001. It is reproduced here for educational purposes. Scott Bryan's book not only describes each Yellowstone geyser in detail, but also includes descriptions of geyser fields worldwide. It is probably the best book on geysers out there. Buy it or check it out!\n\n\nThe hot water, circulating up from great depth, flows into the plumbing system of a geyser. Because this water is many degrees above the boiling point, some of it turns to steam instead of forming liquid pools. Meanwhile, additional, cooler water is flowing into the geyser from the porous rocks nearer the surface. The two waters mix as the plumbing system fills.\n The steam bubbles formed at depth rise and meet the cooler water. At first, they condense there, but as they do they gradually heat the water. Eventually, these steam bubbles rising from deep within the plumbing system manage to heat the surface water until it also reaches the boiling point. Now the geyser begins to function like a pressure cooker. The water within the plumbing system is hotter than boiling, but "stable" because of the pressure exerted by all the water lying above it. (Remember that the boiling point of a liquid is dependent upon the pressure. The boiling point of pure water 212 degrees Farenheit (100 degrees Celsius) at sea level. In Yellowstone the elevation is about 7,500 feet, the pressure is lower, and the boiling point of water is only about 199 degrees Farenheit (93 degrees Celsius).\n\nThe filling and heating process continues unt

Nude outdoor hot springs, Ridgway, Colorado.  When it snows, the flakes hiss when they hit your hot skin.

Hi,\n\nIn simple terms it is a part of their subterranean irrigation system. Since it is so hot there they dont use open canals to water their fields for the risk of water getting evaporated so quickly. So instead they have developed a system of making covered or underground channels to carry water from the wells to the fields. These underground water channels are called Karaze, and the well that supplies water to them is a karaze well.

A magma chamber, or a magma reservoir if you want to sound like a professional... lol.

the opening is called the vent,the answer you probably want is the crater as that is the part above ground which you see(big hole).the vent is a gap in the rocks beneath the crater through which the magma passes up from the eruption chamber.

In the ground or in a furnace.

piss somewhere with a large splash area like a bathtub, that way if you sneeze you can just wash the excess splash down the plug hole.

It evaporates! Soaking rain goes into the water table!

Geothermal energy is energy produced by geothermal water. Breaking geothermal down- Geo=earth, thermal=hot. Magma seeps through the earth's core, and gets stopped by rocks, sometimes heating underground ponds. An example of this is a hot spring. Hot springs are created by the same method, the water's just closer to the surface. The water is used in a plant that boils it and uses the steam to turn a turbine. The water will sometimes then be turned back into water and put into the pond for heating and further use. A Binary geothermal power plant uses the hot water to heat isopentain, which has a lower boiling point that water. The water is then put back into the earth to heat it up again. Geothermal power can be used for heating or even powering houses. Because it releases no bad emissions, it's a very clean form of energy.

If the spring is extended to its maximum than it is no longer moving!
