If it rises quickly and has the right kind of plumbing system,
this superheated water can flash to steam and become a geyser. More
commonly, as the hot water rises, it steadily loses heat and breaks
surface as a hot spring. See Hot Water Treasures
for a closer look at geysers, hot springs, mud pots and steam vents.
