Sea-based blowhole Land-based blowhole. In geology, a blowhole or marine geyser is formed as sea caves grow landward and upward into vertical shafts and expose themselves toward the surface, which can result in hydraulic compression of seawater that is released through a port from the top of the blowhole.

The blowholes at Dolomite Point, Punakaiki have been formed through combined processes of erosion. The action of waves, combined with karst erosion in joints and faults in the limestone rock, leads to the creation of caverns that become sea caves. When the sea cave erodes upwards and towards the land, it can create an opening to the surface.
A blowhole is a cavity formed when a joint between a sea cave (formed by erosion) and the land surface above the cave becomes enlarged. The sea cave and the land surface become conjoined when the roof of the cave collapses. Blowholes are formed by the process of erosion.
