Answer:

a. fumarole -- 1. a vent from which steam escapes

b. geyser -- 4. an eruption of hot water and steam

c. hot spring -- 2. ground water has come into contact with hot rocks and risen to the surface

d. travertine -- 3. massive deposits of calcium carbonate around a hot spring

Step-by-step explanation:

  • A fumarole is opening of the crust and has emitted streams and gases like the carbon dioxide, and the sulfur dioxide, and hydrogen chloride, and hydrogen sulfide.
  • The streams are formed by the boiling of the superheated water and its pressure falls when it reaches the ground surface.
  • A geyser is a spring that is characterized by the discharge of the water ejected turbulently and is accompanied by a stream and exists at a few places on earth.
  • A hot spring is a hydrothermal vent that is made by the emergence of the geothermally heated groundwater that rises form the earth crust.
  • A travertine is a terrestrial sedimentary rock that is formed by the precipitation of the carbonate materials form the solution to the ground surface and a geothermally heated ground spring.
