Geyers are fountains of water and steam. They form when that steam builds up pressure underground and erupts at regular intervals. They are formed when steam produced underground breaks through the surface.

Are geysers formed by erosion?

No, geysers are formed by underground volcanic activity. Water seeps into fissures in the Earth's crust, is heated by magma, and then shoots up through narrow openings, creating the geyser's characteristic eruption. Erosion may affect the surrounding landscape over time, but it is not the primary process involved in geyser formation.
