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.

Detailed explanation-2: -Geysers are hot springs with constrictions in their plumbing, usually near the surface, that prevent water from circulating freely to the surface where heat would escape. The deepest circulating water of the system can exceed the surface boiling point of water (199°F/93°C).

Detailed explanation-3: -Geysers are hot springs characterized by irregular discharge of geothermally heated water, ejected with a massive force from the surface of the earth followed by steam. While on the other hand, hot springs are natural formations of geothermally heated water bodies found on the earth’s surface.

Detailed explanation-4: -hot spring, also called thermal spring, spring with water at temperatures substantially higher than the air temperature of the surrounding region.
