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 \(10^\circ F\) 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 \(290^\circ F\). 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 Faithful in Yellowstone Park. Old Faithful erupts almost every hour, rising to a height of \(125\) to \(170\) feet and expelling more than ten thousand gallons during each eruption.

Soal 32. How geyser is produced?

A. By the rise of temperature pressure functioning hot steam.

B. From a huge tension of heated water that coming out from the earth crack.

C. From the heated temperature in earth crack that absorbing water.

D. From the temperature and absorbed water that occurs on earth surface.

E. By the hot water and temperature of hot rock that occurs on earth surface.

Jawaban & Analisis

Kunci: A

Paragraf pertama menegaskan bahwa geyser terbentuk karena gabungan “high temperatures” dan “increased pressure” di bawah permukaan bumi. Air dipanaskan hingga lebih dari \(290^\circ F\) lalu, karena tekanan yang lebih besar, menyembur ke permukaan sebagai uap dan air panas.

Opsi A paling sesuai karena memuat unsur temperatur dan tekanan. Opsi lain tidak menegaskan kedua syarat utama tersebut atau keliru menempatkan proses di permukaan bumi. Secara ketepatan isi, \(A \gt B\) dan \(A \gt D\).

Soal 33. Steam and hot water shoot out of the surface because of ….

A. hot rock and water

B. temperature and pressure

C. greater pressure

D. high temperature and increased pressure

E. underground temperature and increased pressure

Jawaban & Analisis

Kunci: C

Kalimat kunci menyatakan: “Because of the greater pressure, the water shoots out of the surface…”. Penyebab langsung semburan adalah tekanan yang lebih besar.

B dan D benar secara umum, tetapi pertanyaan menanyakan sebab langsung “shoot out”, sehingga \(C \gt D\). A tidak menyebut tekanan, E terlalu umum.

Soal 34. Reservoir where the water can be stored will be … after eruption and resupplying again

A. hot

B. narrow

C. open

D. empty

E. unstable

Jawaban & Analisis

Kunci: D

Saat erupsi, air dan uap keluar melalui celah sehingga cadangan air berkurang. Setelah itu air disuplai kembali melalui saluran bawah tanah. Kondisi paling tepat setelah erupsi adalah “empty”.

A membahas suhu, B dan C membahas bentuk, E menggambarkan kondisi sebelum erupsi. Maka \(D \gt E\).

Soal 35. “… and expelling more than ten thousand gallons during each eruption.” (Paragraph 2)

The underlined word is closest in meaning to ….

A. heating

B. melting

C. wasting

D. supplying

E. discharging

Jawaban & Analisis

Kunci: E

“Expelling” bermakna mengeluarkan atau menyemburkan. Sinonim terdekatnya adalah “discharging”.

A dan B berkaitan dengan panas/wujud, C bermakna menyia-nyiakan, D berlawanan arah. Maka \(E \gt D\). Pada data ketinggian disebut \(125 \lt 170\), namun makna “expelling” tetap mengarah pada tindakan mengeluarkan.
