Hot spring, anyone?
::温泉,有人吗?Hot water from underground can pool at hot springs . Even some animals enjoy relaxing in nature's hot tubs. Care to join them?
::地下的热水可以聚集在温泉,甚至一些动物也享受大自然的热水浴缸的放松,想加入它们吗?Hot Springs and Geysers
::热泉和热泉Water sometimes comes into contact with hot . The water may emerge at the surface as either a hot spring or a geyser .
::水有时会与热水接触。水可能会在地表作为温泉或喷泉出现。Hot Springs
::温泉When hot water gently rises to the surface, it creates a hot spring . A hot spring forms where a crack in the Earth allows water to reach the surface after being heated underground. Many hot springs are used by people and animals as natural hot tubs ( Figure ). Some people believe that hot springs can cure illnesses. Hot springs are found all over the world, even in Antarctica!
::当热水慢慢地升到地表时,它会产生一个温泉。一个温泉形式,地球上的裂缝使水在地底加热后能够到达地表。许多温泉被人和动物用作天然的温泉(图 )。有些人认为温泉可以治愈疾病。世界各地,甚至在南极洲,都能找到热泉!Even in winter, the water in this hot spring in Yellowstone doesn't freeze. Bison move near hot springs to escape the extreme cold.
::即使在冬天,黄石公园这个温泉的水也不会冻僵。拜辛在温泉附近移动,以躲避极端寒冷。Geysers
::Geysers 盖塞Geysers are also created by water that is heated beneath the Earth’s surface. The water may become superheated by magma . It becomes trapped in a narrow passageway. The heat and pressure build as more water is added. When the pressure is too much, the superheated water bursts out onto the surface. This is a geyser .
::地基也是由地表下加热的水产生的。 水可能因岩浆而变得超热。 它被困在狭窄的通道中。 热和压力随着水的增加而形成。 当压力过大时,超热水会爆发到地表上。 这是一个喷泉。There are only a few areas in the world where the conditions are right for the formation of geysers. Only about 1,000 geysers exist worldwide. About half of them are in the United States. The most famous geyser is Old Faithful at Yellowstone National Park. The geyser erupts every 60 to 70 minutes, shooting hot water nearly 60 meters in the air. It is rare for a geyser to erupt so regularly, which is why Old Faithful is famous. Castle Geyser ( Figure ) is another geyser at Yellowstone Park; however, it does not erupt as frequently or predictably as Old Faithful.
::世界上只有少数几个地区适合形成喷泉,全世界只有大约1 000个喷泉,其中大约一半在美国。最著名的喷泉是黄石公园的老信徒。喷泉每60至70分钟喷发一次,喷洒热水近60米的空气。热泉很少经常喷发,这也是老信徒出名的原因。古石公园的城堡Geyser(Figure)是另一个喷泉;不过,它没有像老信徒那样频繁或可以预测地喷发。Castle Geyser is one of the many geysers at Yellowstone National Park. Castle erupts regularly, but not as frequently or predictably as Old Faithful.
::Geyser城堡是黄石公园众多喷泉之一。 城堡经常喷发,但不像旧信仰那样频繁或可以预测。Summary
::摘要- When magma heats groundwater, it may come to the surface as a hot spring or a geyser.
::当岩浆加热地下水时,它可能作为温泉或喷泉来到地表。
- Geysers erupt because the water is trapped. The water becomes superheated until finally the pressure builds enough for it to break the seal.
::Geysers喷发是因为水被困住了。水变得超热,直到最后压力形成,足以打破密封。
- Yellowstone is famous for its geysers. Old Faithful erupts the most regularly.
::黄石公园以其喷泉闻名 古老的信仰经常喷发
Review
::回顾- What creates a hot spring?
::什么创造了温泉?
- Why do geysers erupt rather than just bubble to the surface like a hot spring?
::为什么喷发石灰器会喷发 而不是像温泉一样冒泡到地表呢?
- Are hot springs and geysers always found where there is active volcanism? What is the source of the heat?
::热泉和热泉总是在有活火山的地方发现吗?热源是什么?
- When magma heats groundwater, it may come to the surface as a hot spring or a geyser.
