A geyser (/ ˈ ɡ aɪ z ər /, UK: / ˈ ɡ iː z ər /) [1] [2] is a spring with an intermittent discharge of water ejected turbulently and accompanied by steam. The formation of geysers is fairly rare, and is caused by particular hydrogeological conditions that exist only in a few places on Earth.
The following are carbon dioxide-generated cold water geysers: Andernach Geyser (aka Namedyer Sprudel), (Eifel, Germany) Crystal Geyser (near Green River, Utah, United States) Geyser of Herľany (Herľany, Slovakia) Mokena Geyser (Te Aroha, New Zealand) Saratoga springs; Soda Springs Geyser, (Idaho, United States)
The Sidoarjo mud flow (commonly known as Lumpur Lapindo, wherein lumpur is the Indonesian word for mud; and as Lusi (Lumpur Sidoarjo)) is the result of an erupting mud volcano [1] in the subdistrict of Porong, Sidoarjo in East Java, Indonesia that has been in eruption since May 2006.

Geyser – Natural explosive eruption of hot water; Guyot – Isolated, flat-topped underwater volcano mountain; Hornito – Conical structures built up by lava ejected through an opening in the crust of a lava flow; Kīpuka – Area of land surrounded by one or more younger lava flows; Lava – Molten rock expelled by a volcano during an eruption
Geysir lies in the Haukadalur valley on the slopes of Laugarfjall lava dome, which is also the home to Strokkur geyser about 50 metres (160 ft) to the south. [5] The Strokkur geyser may be confused with it, and the geothermal field it is in is known usually as either, Geysir or Haukadalur.
Terminal Geyser. Located in the southeast corner of the park, Terminal Geyser is not actually a geyser, but rather a cold stream flowing over a steam vent. This is about 100 feet (30 m) from the site of a geothermal boring operation that took place in 1962 and 1978. The 4,008-foot (1,222 m) well is now plugged and abandoned.
La Bufadora is often considered a marine geyser, [1] however, it does not have a thermal source or cause, as geysers do. In this case, the spout of sea water is the result of air, trapped in a sea cave, exploding upwards.
