Explain the difference between hot spring and geyser

Answer Text:
- Hot spring refers to a stream of hot (super-heated) water coming from the ground often being heated by magma. The flow of water is quiet.
- Geyser refers to a situation where very hot water is ejected with considerable
force accompanied by steam. Some erupt periodically at regular intervals while other occur more spasmodically.
