Cold water geysers are created by a buildup of carbon dioxide which causes the geyser to erupt. The main article for this category is cold-water geyser . Pages in category "Cold water geysers"
Near Beehive is a smaller geyser that can often be used as an indicator of a pending eruption of Beehive. This geyser, named Beehive's Indicator, sends up a 6-to-15-foot (1.8 to 4.6 m) fountain between a few seconds and 30 minutes before Beehive erupts, averaging 15 to 20 minutes prior.
Andernach Geyser, (Germany), the world's highest cold-water geyser Herľany, (Slovakia), first eruption in 1870. 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.
The pressurized water boils, and this causes the geyser effect of hot water and steam spraying out of the geyser's surface vent. A geyser's eruptive activity may change or cease due to ongoing deposition of minerals within their plumbing, exchange of functions with nearby hot springs, earthquake influences, and human intervention.

When it does erupt, its fountain can reach a height of 200 feet (60 m). Eruptions are more likely if a storm front reduces barometric pressure and lowers the boiling point of water around the geyser. [2] Splendid's eruptions are very rare with intervals between eruptions lasting decades. In the early to mid 1970s, the geyser was very active.

Baby Daisy Geyser is a geyser in the Upper Geyser Basin of Yellowstone National Park in the United States. It is part of the Old Road group of geysers. Baby Daisy goes through periods of activity with years of inactivity in between. The most recent active period occurred from 2003 to 2004.
