Answer:

Geysers and hot springs are both fed by groundwater from rain and melted snow that seeps through cracks in the surface and is collected in porous rock underground. ... The big difference between a geyser and a hot spring is that a geyser has an obstruction in its hydrothermal plumbing near the surface.

hope it will help u

Answer:

SOME POINTS WHICH DIFFERENTIATE AQUIFER AND THE GEYSER:

AQUIFERS:

  1. An aquifer is an underground layer of porous rocks or permeable rocks that save and hold groundwater tiers withinside the soil. The underground aquifer is constructed with all varieties of porous or permeable rock materials, together with sand, gravel, or silt, making it an appropriate water absorber.
  2. The rainwater enters the aquifer via the soil and turns into part of the groundwater. The groundwater from the aquifers then resurfaces from springs and wells. We also can extract the aquifer water with the assistance of a water well.
  3. The observation of groundwater, aquifer and their belongings is called hydrogeology.

GEYSERS:

  1. A geyser is a vent on Earth's surface that periodically ejects a column of warm water and steam. Even a small geyser is a super phenomenon; however, a few geysers have eruptions that blast lots of gallons of boiling-warm water up to a few hundred ft withinside the air.
  2. Geysers are extraordinarily uncommon features. They arise best in which there may be a coincidence of uncommon conditions. Worldwide there are best approximately one thousand geysers, and a maximum of these are positioned in Yellowstone National Park (USA)
  3. No particular named subfield of geology exclusively studies geysers or different hydrothermal features. Depending on the factor of the system they're involved in, a person operating on geysers would possibly consider themselves a hydrologist, geochemist, geophysicist, or volcanologist.
