Bildbeschreibung
| Titel: | Fountain Paint Pots in the evening in the Yellowstone NP | | Aufnahmestandort: | In the Lower Geysir Basin, nordwest of Old Faithful, Yellowstone NP, Wyoming, USA. | | Beschreibung: | The Fountain Paint Pots are named for the reds, yellows and browns of the mud pots in this area. The differing colors are derived from oxidation states of the iron in the mud. As with hot springs, the heat in the caldera forces pressurized water up through the ground, causing the mud to boil. The bubble action in the mudpots varies with the seasons. In the early summer, the mud is watery from the high water table due to rain and snow melt. By the end of summer, the mud is much thicker as the water table drops. | | Schlüsselwörter: | water, mud |
