GENERAL GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -A geyser is a rare kind of hot spring that is under pressure and erupts, sending jets of water and steam into the air. Geysers are made from a tube-like hole in the Earth’s surface that runs deep into the crust. The tube is filled with water.

Detailed explanation-2: -Hot springs are heated by geothermal heat-heat from the Earth’s interior.

Detailed explanation-3: -a hot spring that intermittently sends up fountainlike jets of water and steam into the air.

Detailed explanation-4: -Geysers form near areas of volcanic activity. Magma heats the water to extreme temperatures. The superheated water rises near the surface. When this happens, the pressure of the water drops and the boiling point of the water is exceeded.

Detailed explanation-5: -There are three types of hot springs: thermal, geothermal and hydrothermal springs. The water in hot springs takes their energy from geothermal processes within the earth.
