Marvelous Geyser! | What Makes Old Faithful Erupts So Powerful #yellowstone #unitedstates #travel

Old Faithful is a cone geyser in Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming, United States. It was named in 1870 during the Washburn–Langford–Doane Expedition and was the first geyser in the park to be named. It is a highly predictable geothermal feature and has erupted every 44 minutes to two hours since 2000.

Yellowstone's unique geothermal activity powers Old Faithful's eruptions. The park sits on a super volcano, and its underground plumbing system creates incredible hydrothermal features like geysers, hot springs, and fumaroles.

This natural marvel erupts every 90 minutes on average, sending up to 8,400 gallons of boiling water into the air, reaching heights of 100 to 180 feet. Deep underground, water is superheated by volcanic activity, building pressure until it bursts through the earth’s surface. Old Faithful is more than a geyser— it’s a testament to the power of nature.

What makes Old Faithful special and dependable? And something so natural can be so consistent!
It's not the tallest geyser but it's one of the most reliable. Here is why:
*Height of eruptions: Between 32 to 56 meters. That's about as tall as a 15-story building!
*Water volume: It shoots up to 8,400 gallons of boiling water each time.
*Duration: Eruptions last between 1.5 and 5 minutes.
*Frequency: About every 90 minutes. It's not exactly on time, but park rangers post predictions on signs and apps.
