Earth tremors generated by Old Faithful Geyser
Rinehart JS. 1965. Earth tremors generated by Old Faithful Geyser. Science. 150(3695):494-496
Several types of earth tremors that could be associated with the eruption cycle of Old Faithful Geyser were registered by a seismograph placed a few meters from the geyser's orifice. Each tremor type was indicative of a specific geyser action. A totally unexpected result was an observed bimodal distribution in frequency of the interval between eruptions.
