Another Wonder Of The World: The Beautiful Rainbow Pits of Yellowstone National Park,Wyoming, USA
Formed from volcanic gasses trying to squeeze it’s way through Sedimentary rock, these rainbow coloured hot springs are one of the top tourist attractions in Yellowstone Park.
Hot Springs are similar to geysers, but their underground channels are large enough to allow rapid circulation of water. Rising hot water releases heat energy by evaporation or hot water runoff, while convection currents return the cooler water to the underground system, thus maintaining equilibrium. The microorganisms which live in and around the hot springs often make the pools very colorful.
Fumaroles are holes or vents from which steam rushes into the air. It is like a hot spring, but lacks liquid water. Either there isn’t enough water or the underground rock is too hot and boils off all of the water so a pool can’t form. The small amount of water that does seep into the area is converted to steam and expelled from the vent, oftentimes creating a hissing noise.
The wonders of God’s creation is limitless. God is great
