BeauThat sounds like a geyser. Geysers are hot springs that periodically erupt with water and steam due to underground volcanic activity causing pressure build-up. Notable examples include Old Faithful in Yellowstone National Park, Iceland's Strokkur, and New Zealand's Pohutu Geyser.

What is a hot spring that erupts from time to time?
A geyser is a type of hot spring that erupts periodically, shooting water and steam into the air due to underground pressure and heat. Famous examples include Old Faithful in Yellowstone National Park and Strokkur in Iceland.
What do you call a spring that spouts out hot water?
It is called a hot spring or geothermal spring.Where water is heated to steam underground, and erupts in a spray, it is called a geyser.
What is an erupting hot spring?
An erupting hot spring occurs when pressure builds up underground, causing a sudden release of steam, water, and rocks. This eruption can be triggered by changes in temperature or other geological factors. Erupting hot springs are natural phenomena that can be dangerous if not approached with caution.
Does a volcano erupts because it is hot and fiery?
Yes
Why does the size of the opening of the tube determine if a hot spring or geyser is formed?
The size of the opening of the tube controls the pressure buildup in the underground reservoir. If the opening is small, pressure can build up before being released, creating a geyser when the water erupts. A larger opening allows pressure to dissipate more gradually, resulting in a hot spring where water flows steadily.
