Geysers and Hot Springs
Hot springs
occur when underground water is heated up by hot rocks beneath the surface.
The boiling water rises through cracks in the ground.
Geysers are hot springs that spout water and steam at regular
intervals.
o In what areas of the earth do you think it is most likely that hot springs
or geysers can be found? Why?
Make a Geyser
(This experiment should be done as a class
demonstration or under strict adult supervision.)
Equipment:
a flask
a 10? - 15? (30 - 40 cm) glass tube
rubber stopper to fit the flask
flask holder
a Bunsen burner or hot plate
strong plastic container
putty
Procedure:
1. Fill the flask 3/4 full of water. Insert the stopper in the flask.
2. Insert the glass tube into the stopper so it reaches about 3/4 of the way down the flask.
3. Make a hole in the plastic container and gently put the other end of the glass tube in the hole so it extends about 1.5? (4 cm) into the bowl. Seal with putty.
4. Place the flask on the Bunsen burner or hot plate. Support the plastic bowl with the flask holder.
5. Pour water down the glass tube until the flask and the glass tube is full.
6. Turn on the heat and wait for the geyser to erupt through the glass tube.
7. The plastic container will catch the water safely.
Answer these questions about the experiment.
1. How long did it take for the geyser to erupt?
2. What happened to the water after the eruption?
3. Explain how you think changing the length of the glass tube will affect the experiment.
