Geyser animation
Watch a geyser drawn step by step: a water-filled tube running deep underground, hot magma below it, and a jet of water and steam shooting into the air. A hand-drawn whiteboard animation made from one illustration.

The prompt behind the picture
Hand-drawn cross-section of the ground showing how a geyser works: the top strip is the ground surface with a little grass, and below it brown and grey rock layers. Deep at the bottom, a glowing red-orange pocket of hot rock (magma). One narrow, twisting vertical crack runs from just above the hot rock up to the surface, filled with blue water. At the surface, a tall white column of water and steam shoots straight up out of the crack into the sky. Only these things: rock layers, hot rock, the water-filled crack and the eruption. Nothing else in the picture, plenty of empty sky. Coloured pencil and watercolour marker, clean black ink outlines, warm off-white paper, no text.The picture came from an image model; any finished illustration works the same way, including one you drew. Use the prompt as a starting point for your own topic.
How this clip was made
The picture above was made with an image model from the prompt above; WhiteboardAnimation.ai then drew it, stroke by stroke, as the clip at the top of this page.

Notes from making it
Each step in the narration follows National Geographic Education’s encyclopedic entry on geysers.
Geyser, step by step
A script to read over it, timed to the drawing: the lines go down first and the colour arrives on the last beat.
- 0:00Line artA geyser is a rare kind of hot spring that sometimes shoots water and steam high into the air.
- 0:14It starts with a tube-like hole that runs from the surface deep into the Earth’s crust. The tube is filled with water.
- 0:27Near the bottom of the tube is magma, rock so hot it has melted. It heats the water in the tube.
- 0:41The water close to the magma gets super hot. It starts to boil and turn into steam.
- 0:54ColourThe steam jets upward and pushes the column of water above it out of the tube and into the air.
- 1:09The eruption stops when the tube is empty or the water cools below boiling. Then water slowly seeps back in, and it all starts again.
Where this geyser animation fits
Use it in an earth science lesson on volcanoes and hot springs, to explain how heat under the ground can move water, or as a short clip in a geography video for kids. The same process turns your own diagram into a clip.
