00:00Whoa! Look at that! That's boiling hot water shooting right out of the ground!
00:06Blossom says it's called a geyser, and it's totally natural.
00:10Hey, that gives me a brilliant idea! I challenge you to build me a geyser!
00:16How hard could that be? Now go fetch!
00:20So, uh, it turns out that geysers are a bit fussy.
00:25Blossom tells me that a geyser needs three things.
00:28Heat, water, and a plumbing system.
00:31If they don't work just right, all you've got is warm dirt or hot water.
00:36Nice, but not a geyser.
00:38So, the heat boils the water, the plumbing system stores the water, and a vent shoots the water out.
00:44To make my geyser, you'll need to adjust each of these geyser parts using the controls on the right.
00:50You just need to make a few adjustments and you're on your way.
00:56Now that's a geyser!
00:58Ready for the geyser surpricer?
01:00You like that? Yeah.
01:02You get to cook my lunch!
01:04And I'm starved!
01:06While the geyser is on, shoot the hot dogs, dumplings, and corn through the water to cook them.
01:10Any bones you boil will give you a bonus point!
01:14Get it?
01:15But whatever you do, don't boil my ice cream.
01:19Now get cooking!
01:28Dog, I love hot dogs!
01:30Now that's what I call a snack!
01:33Cone geysers have a cone-shaped rock on top, which makes the water and steam come out in a tall,
01:38thin stream.
01:39Ooh, look at that!
01:48Ooh, my ice cream!
01:49Now that's what I call a snack!
01:53Geysers have even been seen in space!
01:56But they're not filled with water.
01:58One of Neptune's moons squirts liquid nitrogen, and Mars squirts carbon dioxide.
02:03Geysers on Mars?
02:04Huh, what do they think up next?
02:14Ooh, my ice cream!
02:16Now that's what I call a snack!
02:19Fountain geysers have a pool of water at their mouths, so when they erupt, the water and steam go all
02:24over the place like an explosion!
02:27Kaboom!
02:31Yay!
02:32Ice cream!
02:35Oh, my God!
02:37Smells like lunch!
02:40Geologically speaking, geysers don't live very long.
02:43They can always seal up or turn into fumaroles, mud pots, and hot springs, and they can always turn back
02:48into geysers again.
02:49Wow, would you look at that thing!
02:55Woo-hoo!
02:56Ice cream!
03:00Corn!
03:05Yay!
03:07Ice cream!
03:07Smells like lunch!
03:09Old Faithful is so faithful because it usually erupts right on schedule, but most geysers are not that predictable.
03:16Ah, Old Faithful.
03:17Like my favorite pair of slippers.
03:19Wait, where are my slippers?
03:21Wait, where are my slippers?
03:28God!
03:34Yay!
03:35Ice cream!
03:41Hot dog!
03:43Hot dog, I love hot dog!
03:44Hot dog, I love hot dog!
03:46Yay!
03:47Ice cream!
03:48Smells like lunch!
03:50This is a cone geyser in Yellowstone whose top looks like a castle.
03:54That must be why they call it Castle Geyser.
03:56Another mystery solved.
03:58You're welcome.
04:05Nice!
04:06Nice!
04:07Nice!
04:08Smells like lunch!
04:11Even geysers that normally erupt right on time can have their schedules interrupted or changed forever by earthquakes.
04:17Oh no, my new cooking method is doomed!
04:26Oh, my ice cream!
04:28My ice cream!
04:30Now you're cooking!
04:33A probe with a video camera was sent down Old Faithful's standpipe.
04:37It found a cavern the size of a rather large automobile filled with vigorously boiling water.
04:42So, underground?
04:44It's the size of an SUV.
04:46Wonder what the mileage is on that thing.
04:48Ha ha ha!
04:56Floor!
04:57Nice!
04:59Nice!
05:00Now that's what I call a snack!
05:04Steamboat geyser is the tallest in the world.
05:06Its water shoots up to 400 feet high.
05:09That's as high as the 40th floor of a building.
05:11That is taller than Studio G, which is, uh, one floor.
05:22Nice!
05:23Nice!
05:24Oh, my dog!
05:25I love hot dogs!
05:30Woo-hoo!
05:31Ice cream!
05:36Nice!
05:37Now you're cooking!
05:39Geothermal energy stations can take the heat in geyser fields and turn it into electricity.
05:44This is a kind of renewable energy because there's always more heat coming out of the earth.
05:49Which is good for cooking.
05:50Why don't they mention cooking?
05:53Why don't they mention cooking?
06:20Whoa!
06:20Would you look at that thing go?
06:27No!
06:32My ice cream!
06:43Now that's what I call a snack!
06:46You would think nothing could live in such hot water, but some bacteria love it there!
06:51That's what gives some geysers their crazy colors!
06:54Ah, a tropical bacteria paradise!
06:57I know where I'm going on my next vacation!
07:03Yay!
07:04Ice cream!
07:07Oh, oh!
07:08My ice cream!
07:10Nice!
07:11Bonus!
07:12Now that's what I call a snack!
07:15Fumeroles in wet areas have acids that melt the rock and become mud pots.
07:19Those are pools of boiling mud.
07:20They can hurl lumps of clay pretty far, so stay away!
07:25Eh, actually looks a little like chocolate fondue!
07:35Nice!
07:37Corn!
07:39Corn!
07:42Ice cream safely through!
07:48Nice!
07:49Smells like lunch!
07:51Fishing cone geyser in Yellowstone is in the middle of a lake.
07:54People used to catch fish in the lake and boil them right up in the geyser!
07:58Wow!
07:59Now that is my kind of geyser!
08:08Ooh!
08:09Nice!
08:15Ice cream safely through!
08:18Nice!
08:20Nice!
08:20Ooh!
08:22Dog!
08:23I love hot dogs!
08:27Woohoo!
08:28Ice cream!
08:34Nice!
08:35Now that's what I call a snack!
08:37There are only about a thousand geysers in the world, but there are some on every continent
08:42except Antarctica!
08:44Except Antarctica!
08:44Around half the geysers are in Yellowstone National Park!
08:47Ha-ha!
08:48That's where I'll open my restaurant!
08:53Yay!
08:54Ice cream!
08:57Woo!
09:01Now you're cooking!
09:03If a geyser runs out of water before the eruption is over, it might have a steam phase!
09:08That means steam billows out for hours together with a very loud noise!
09:12Ooh!
09:13Perfect for my steam dumplings!
09:24Hot dogs!
09:26Hot dog!
09:27I love hot dogs!
09:29Ice cream safely through!
09:35Bonus!
09:36Smells like lunch!
