What is the difference?
- 1Appearance: Hotsprings are pools of hot water while geysers are characterized by periodic eruptions of hot water and steam.
- 2Frequency: Hotsprings are constantly flowing while geysers erupt periodically.
- 3Size: Geysers are typically larger than hotsprings and can shoot water and steam high into the air.
- 4Location: Hotsprings are often used for relaxation and soaking while geysers are more commonly observed as a natural spectacle.
- 5Temperature: Hotsprings are typically warm to hot while geysers can reach very high temperatures during eruptions.
Remember this!
Hotsprings and geysers are both natural features that are formed by geothermal activity. However, the difference between them lies in their appearance, frequency, size, location, and temperature. Hotsprings are pools of hot water that are constantly flowing and are often used for relaxation and therapeutic purposes. On the other hand, geysers are characterized by periodic eruptions of hot water and steam, are typically larger, and are more commonly observed as a natural spectacle.
