When applied to Norris Geyser Basin, describes a basin wide or partial basin change in not only geyser and pool behavior but also water temperatures and chemistry When a disturbance occurs, many dramatic changes can take place Many previously quiet geysers and pools start erupting Other pools become murky or change color And many geysers erupt much more vigorously Not all geysers are affected positively though The possibility of a major Steamboat eruption seems to be quenched by the onset of a disturbance for instance What causes the disturbance? Well, one theory holds that the disturbance is the manifestation of a second hot water reservoir interacting with the surface features This theory is supported by the change in water chemistry Disturbances were first noted occurring in the Fall and covering the entire basin but have since been recognized in other seasons and sometimes only affecting small portions of the basin at a time
