Pōhutu Geyser is a geyser in the Whakarewarewa Thermal Valley, Rotorua, in the North Island of New Zealand. [1] The geyser is the largest in the southern hemisphere and among the most active in the area, erupting up to twenty times per day at heights of up to 30 m (98 ft). [ 2 ]
Johannes Vermeer (/ v ər ˈ m ɪər, v ər ˈ m ɛər /, Dutch: [vərˈmeːr], see below; also known as Jan Vermeer; October 1632 – 15 December 1675) was a Dutch painter who specialized in domestic interior scenes of middle-class life.
El Tatio lies in the Antofagasta Province of northern Chile close to the border between Chile and Bolivia. [11] [b] The field is located 89–80 kilometres (55–50 mi) north of the town San Pedro de Atacama and 100 kilometres (62 mi) east of the town of Calama; [13] [14] Chile Route B-245 connects El Tatio to San Pedro de Atacama.

Andernach Geyser, (Germany), the world's highest cold-water geyser. Cold-water geysers are geysers that have eruptions whose water spurts are propelled by CO 2-bubbles, instead of the hot steam which drives the more familiar hot-water geysers: The gush of a cold-water geyser is identical to the spurt from a freshly-opened bottle of soda pop.
Semi-Centennial Geyser is located just north of Roaring Mountain in Yellowstone National Park in the U.S. state of Wyoming. Situated next to the Grand Loop Road, the geyser was first noticed when it had a few small eruptions in 1919.
The Excelsior Geyser pool discharges 4,000 to 4,500 gallons (15,100–17,000 L) [5] of 199 °F (93 °C) [3] water per minute directly into the Firehole River.In the late 19th century (and possibly 1901), it was an active geyser that erupted frequently.
The volcanoes at mid-ocean ridges alone are estimated to account for 75% of the magma output on Earth. [1] Although most submarine volcanoes are located in the depths of seas and oceans , some also exist in shallow water, and these can discharge material into the atmosphere during an eruption .
Geothermal power stations can also disrupt the natural cycles of geysers. For example, the Beowawe, Nevada geysers, which were uncapped geothermal wells, stopped erupting due to the development of the dual-flash station. Local climate cooling is possible as a result of the work of the geothermal circulation systems.
