Answer:

Geysers are formed

Explanation:

The geysers are defined as the narrow openings through which the hot water erupts periodically like a fountain. This forms in a geological setting where the water below the earth surface is heated due to the geothermal gradient that allows the water to increase its volume as it expands and becomes less dense. It then eventually forces to move upward. At the same time, the rocks above this hot water exerts a downward pressure. There comes a point when the force exerted by the hot water exceeds the pressure exerted by the overlying rocks. At this point, the geysers are formed.

Wood is one important good used for construction obtained from the main substance of the outer layer of the trunk or branches of a tree. Biologically, the outer layer of the trunk of a tree is comprised of the old layers of xylem and phloem, which are dead cells that were part of the heartwood or the centre of the tree. These old layers of xylem and phloem form the outer bark structure of the tree.
