Eruption is not the same as erosion. Since a geyser does involve a flow of water, there can be erosion as a result, but that is only a minor side effect.

Are geysers formed by erosion?

No, geysers are formed by underground volcanic activity.

Erosion may affect the surrounding landscape over time, but it is not the primary process involved in geyser formation.
