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)
There are two main types of channels, bedrock and alluvial, which are present no matter the sub-classification. Bedrock channels are composed entirely of compacted rock, with only patches of alluvium scattered throughout. Because the bedrock is constantly exposed it takes much less stream power to carve the channel.
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.
Enhanced geothermal system: 1 Reservoir, 2 Pump house, 3 Heat exchanger, 4 Turbine hall, 5 Production well, 6 Injection well, 7 Hot water to district heating, 8 Porous sediments, 9 Observation well, 10 Crystalline bedrock. An enhanced geothermal system (EGS) generates geothermal electricity without natural convective hydrothermal resources.

Abrasion is the natural scratching of bedrock by a continuous movement of snow or glacier downhill. This is caused by a force, friction, vibration, or internal deformation of the ice, and by sliding over the rocks and sediments at the base (that also causes an avalanche) that causes the glacier to move.

Sea level is the ultimate base level, but many streams have a higher "temporary" base level because they empty into another body of water that is above sea level or encounter bedrock that resists erosion. A concurrent process called lateral erosion refers to the widening of a stream channel or valley. When a stream is high above its base level ...
