Provide a definition of geysers and elucidate their distinctions from hot springs.
"Geysers" are hot springs characterised by irregular discharge of geothermally heated water, ejected with massive force from the surface of the earth followed by steam. While "Hot springs"Are natural formations of geothermally heated water bodies founds on earth's surface. A hot spring is differentRead more

A hot spring is different from geyser in the sense that a hot spring gives off steam when the water comes near the surface. A geysers keeps the water boiling underground, which helps create the pressure that causes the water to rise out the ground spontaneously.
Another difference between geyser and hot spring is that geyser is plugged with an obstruction near the opening of the spout and a hot spring is allowed to flow freely.

“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.
Geysers and hot springs though having various similarities are different only because the geysers ejaculate water with a massive amount of force from the earth’s surface, while hot springs are just naturally occurring geothermally heated water bodies.
- A geyser has an obstruction in its hydrothermal plumbing near the surface but a hot spring is allowed to circulate to the surface and flow freely, giving off steam and heat.
