托福听力是考试难点,那么好的听力资料有哪些呢?想必是出国人士比较关心的问题,和新航道托福小编一起来了解托福听力练习之间歇泉,欢迎阅读。
间歇泉是间断喷发的温泉,因此,有人把它比作“地下的天然锅炉”。有人说它是“地球的眼泪”。“泪如泉涌”, 多发生于火山运动活跃的区域,熔岩使地层水化为水汽,水汽沿裂缝上升,当温度下降到汽化点以下时凝结成为温度很高的水,每间隔一段时间喷发一次,形成间歇泉。
间歇泉是这样形成的:在火山活动地区,炽热的熔岩会使周围地层的水温升高,甚至化为水汽。这些水汽遇到岩石层中的裂隙就沿裂缝上升,当温度下降到汽化点以下时就凝结成为温度很高的水。这些积聚起来的水,还有地层上部的地下水沿地层裂隙上升到地面,每间隔一段时间喷发一次,形成间歇泉。间歇泉喷出的水中往往含有矿物质,当水分蒸发或重新渗入地表时,这些矿物质就会沉积下来。随着时间的推移,日积月累的矿物质能形成各种奇怪的状,像火山锥,像火山口,有时间歇泉还能“制造”出柱形的矿物质沉积物。科学家虽已揭开了间歇泉的神秘面纱,但人们仍为它雄伟而瑰丽的喷发景观所倾倒。间歇泉的形成除了要具备形成一般泉水所需的条件,科学家经过考察指出,适宜的地质构造和充足的地下水源是形成间歇泉最根本的因素。
A geyser (/ˈɡaɪzər/ )is a spring (泉) characterized by an intermittent(间歇的discharge(排放物) of water ejected(喷射) turbulently(猛烈地) and accompanied by steam. As a fairly rare phenomenon, the formation of geysers is due to particular hydrogeological(水文地质的) conditions that exist only in a few places on Earth.Generally all geyser field sites are located near active volcanic areas,and the geyser effect is due to the proximity(接近) of magma. Generally, surface water works its way down to an average depth of around 2,000 metres where it contacts hot rocks. The resultant boiling of the pressurized(增压的) water results in the geyser effect of hot water and steam spraying out of the geyser's surface vent (a hydrothermal explosion).
A geyser's eruptive activity may change or cease(停止) due to ongoing mineral deposition within the geyser plumbing(管道系统) , exchange of functions with nearby hot springs, earthquake influences,and human intervention(干涉)
