A geyser much like a volcano is a mound or mountain of land that has something bubbling underneath the surface. Typically a geyser has water or hot springs that erupt up sporadically like a volcano.
Iceland is known for its many geysers.

Iceland is a volcanic country known for its geothermal activity and cold temperatures. Its landscape is shaped by volcanic eruptions and geysers, giving it a unique and otherworldly feel.
Well, there are not so many. In 2004 there were apparently 58 geysers in NZ. They are uncommon objects anywhere in the world - perhaps only 1000 worldwide. Geysers are associated with volcanic activity, and the Taupo Volcanic Zone (which includes Rotorua) is the most important in NZ. Hot pools, geysers, fumaroles etc are produced by underlying volcanic activity. Some of the geysers and hot spring activity has been lost by the drowning due to hydro-electric projects, and some has been lost by over-exploitation by domestic withdrawal for house heating. The hot springs in the South Island, (none of which are associated with geysers) are all associated with faults in the ground, and are thought to be the result of the land rising through tectonic process, faster than it is cooling. All of these are East of the Alpine Fault. Have a look at teara.govt.nz for an expansive article.
because they are both heated by a nearby body of magma
Geysers are found in volcanic areas.
There are no natural geysers in the Philippines. Geysers are typically found in areas with high geothermal activity, such as Iceland and Yellowstone National Park. The Philippines does have some volcanic activity and hot springs, but not geysers.

Geysers are not built, but are the result of volcanic activity. The only volcanic activity in Northern California is Mt. Shasta. Mammoth Lakes is also a very active area.

No, there are no geysers in Maine. Geysers typically occur in geothermal regions with volcanic activity, such as Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming. Maine's geology does not support the conditions necessary for geyser formation, as it lacks the hot springs and volcanic activity that create these natural phenomena. Instead, Maine is known for its beautiful coastline, forests, and lakes.
Because geysers also rely on volcanic activity to occur.
Geysers are, in fact, formed when groundwater is heated by nearby magma. They can also be formed by volcanic eruptions and earthquakes occasionally as well.

Yellowstone national park is a volcanic caldera so there you can see many geysers there.
