How much water erupts from Old Faithful Geyser?
4+ mon, 2+ week ago (212+ words) In a recent study, scientists used several novel methods to measure the volume of water erupted from the iconic Old Faithful Geyser. The average volume of water from 45 eruptions was 27.9 cubic meters (7,370 gallons) but varied from 12.2 to 44.3 cubic meters (3,223 to…...
