One of the things I didn't know was that geysers need so many requirements to be maintained. First it needs water from rain or snow for releasing, and some of it is turned into steam. Second the geyser needs heat from underground magma. Third the pressure has to be released somehow, right? Holes, cracks, and fissures help the water and steam fnd its way to the surface-almost like an underground plumbing system. Yellowstone has geysers because all the requirements are here. By the way--geysers are natural.
I think Yellowstone should stay a national park because of all its special qualities. It has a large variety of plants and animals. The park has over 100 discovered waterfalls! It's also an active volcano that erupted 640,000 years ago. It has many boiling mud pools and geysers. Everything in the park seems to be balanced.
