A hot spring is water that flows out of the ground at temperatures higher than the surrounding air temperature.

Most hot
springs result from underground water flowing over molten or very hot rock, which in turn heats the water. Sometimes,
the extremely hot molten rock can heat the water to such high temperatures that it turns into steam. If the pressure
increases sufficiently, steam and water are forced toward the surface with tremendous force, resulting eruption of steam
and water known as a geyser. Geysers are predominantly found in three parts of the world: the western United States,
Iceland, and New Zealand. The most renowned geyser globally is Old Faithful, located in Yellowstone National Park. Unlike
most geysers, which erupt at irregular intervals, Old Faithful erupts on average once every ninety-four minutes each day,
sending several thousand gallons of hot water soaring up to 170 feet into the air. Watching a geyser is a thrilling
experience, as witnessing this natural spectacle is undeniably exciting. Geysers stand out as one of nature's most
captivating wonders.
