HOT SPRINGS, GEYSERS & FUMAROLES In volcanic regions, groundwater is superheated by magma until it builds up pressure. When this hot water bursts through the surface as jets of steam and water, it is called a geyser. If only steam escapes to the surface, it is known as a fumarole. And when the hot water mixes with mud and clay, it forms bubbling hot mud pools.
