Volcanoes

What do you think volcanoes can teach us about how Earth was formed? A geyser is a fountain of hot water and steam that shoots into the air at regular or irregular intervals. A hot spring is a stream of hot, bubbling water that flows out of the ground. Geysers and hot springs are places of new volcanic activity. They occur in many parts of the world. Have you ever seen a geyser or hot spring?
