Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A fumarole is a vent in Earth's crust that emits steam and gases, but not liquid water. It is similar to a geyser in that it is a result of geothermal activity, but it does not have the same eruptive behavior as a geyser. A hot spring is a pool of hot water that may or may not have eruptive activity, while sinter and travertine are types of mineral deposits that can form around hot springs and geysers.
