Springs are used to store mechanical energy. Tension/extension springs get longer as force is applied (seen in trampoline springs), compression springs get shorter as force is applied (seen in bed springs), and torsion springs rotate through an angle as force is applied (seen in clocks).

What are the different types of water springs?

The different types of water springs are artesian springs, natural springs, geyser springs, and seep springs. Artesian springs are pressurized and occur when groundwater flows to the surface due to geological formations. Natural springs are formed when groundwater rises to the surface through permeable rock layers. Geyser springs are characterized by intermittent eruptions of hot water and steam. Seep springs are small, slow-flowing springs that emerge from the ground due to underground water sources.
