Provide a definition of geysers and elucidate their distinctions from hot springs.
A geyser is a hot spring that occasionally shoots out hot water and steam because of built-up pressure. This happens when underground water is heated by the Earth's heat and then bursts out forcefully. In contrast, a hot spring is a place where warm water naturally comes out of the ground allRead more
A geyser is a hot spring that occasionally shoots out hot water and steam because of built-up pressure. This happens when underground water is heated by the Earth’s heat and then bursts out forcefully.
In contrast, a hot spring is a place where warm water naturally comes out of the ground all the time without any explosions.
Difference :
Geysers have periodic eruptions, while hot springs flow steadily.
Geysers build up pressure before they erupt, but hot springs do not.
Geysers are rare and need specific geological conditions to form, while hot springs are more common and can be found in many geothermal areas around the world.
Lastly, geysers often have hotter water due to the pressure build-up, whereas hot springs usually have a steady, gentler warmth.
