the theory of evolution. darwin „s theory holds that environmental effect lead to varying degrees of reproductive success in individuals and groups of organisms.

Geyser
A geyser is the result of underground water under the combined conditions of high temperatures and Increased pressure beneath the surface of the earth. Since temperature rises approximately 10ºF for every
sixty feet under the earth's surface, and pressure increases with depth, the water that seeps down in crack and fissures until it reaches very hot rock In the earth interior becomes heated to temperature In excess of
290°F. Because of the greater pressure, the water shoots out of the surface in the form of steam and hot water , The result is a geyser  In order to function, then a geyser must
have a source of heat, reservoir where water can be stored until the temperature rises to an unstable point, an opening through which the hot water and steam can escape, and underground channels for resupplying water after an eruption.
            Favorable conditions for geyser exist in some regions of the world Including New Zealand, Iceland, and the Yellowstone National Park area of the United States. The most famous geyser in the world is Old Faith-full in Yellow Park. Old Faithful' erupts almost every hour, rising to a height of 125 to
