Answer:

Geysers

Step-by-step explanation:

Geysers are one of the contrasting geological features that are produced when the water below the surface of the earth gets heated up due to the geothermal energy as well due to the heat conducted by the hot rocks (or hot molten rocks). These occur mostly in the volcanic region.

The water in these regions gets heated up in such a way that it exceeds its boiling point, as a result of which the water rises up through the pores, cracks, and fractures of rocks and erupts at the surface forming geysers.
