在地球日,让我们去参观地球上最迷人的地热奇迹之一:黄石公园的大棱镜温泉。这个美国最大的温泉直径1.8米,温度70摄氏度。在黄石火山发出的热量的推动下,它的水以蓝色、绿色、黄色和橙色的色调振动,由在富含矿物质的水中茁壮成长的嗜热微生物组成。

On Earth Day, let's visit one of the most fascinating geothermal wonders on Earth: the Great Prism Hot Springs in Yellowstone National Park. The largest hot spring in the United States has a diameter of 1.8 meters and a temperature of 70 degrees Celsius. Driven by the heat emitted by the Yellowstone volcano, its water vibrates in shades of blue, green, yellow, and orange, composed of thermophilic microorganisms that thrive in mineral rich water.
