Yellowstone: Hot Springs

The Hot Springs in Yellowstone are amazing. Even just looking at the pictures I am in awe. They are so interesting. I have learned about them in the past and the way they work is really cool. When the water inside them heats up, it rises to the top (just like heat rises in the air) and the air when it reaches the top cools it down. When the water on top is cooled down, it sinks back down to the bottom and is replaced with more hot water. This amazes me how things like this can happen in nature.
