VIII-Read the passage below and choose the best answer for each question:
A geyser is the result of underground water under the combined conditions of
temperatures and increased pressure beneath the surface of the earth. Since temperature rises
approximately one degree F for every sixty feet under the earths surface and the increases
with depth, water that seeps down in cracks and fissures until it reaches to the rocks in the
earths interior becomes heated to a temperature in excess of 290degree. Because of the
greater pressure, it shoots out of the surface in the form of steam and hot water. The result is a
geyser.
For the most part, geysers are located in three regions of the world: New Zealand, Ice
land, and the Yellowstone National Park area of the United States. The most geyser in the
