Hot Springs National Park has 47 hot springs and geysers.
Hot springs are not the same as geysers, although they are related. Hot springs are simply natural springs where heated water flows to the surface, often due to geothermal activity. Geysers, on the other hand, are a specific type of hot spring that intermittently erupts, shooting water and steam into the air, typically due to the buildup of pressure from boiling water in underground chambers. Thus, while all geysers are hot springs, not all hot springs are geysers.
Hot springs and geysers in Yellowstone are the result of the area's volcanic activity. Magma deep beneath the Earth's surface heats up groundwater, causing it to rise and create the hot springs and geysers. As the water reaches the surface, it releases steam and heat, resulting in the geothermal features found in Yellowstone National Park.
Generally, a geyser erupts as would a volcano, but instead of lava and ash, a geyser sprays hot water, sulfuric acid and steam. I wouldn't call a hot spring a geyser, but they are certainly related.
Glaciers are large pieces of ice floating in cold waters (Antarctica, south pole, north pole, etc..)Geysers are hot springs -- look up hot springs

Most of the Yellowstone Caldera is no hotter than you would expect from weather in that climate zone. The caldera does contain many hot springs, and geysers, some of which are hot enough to boil water.
Geothermal heating. Every house in Iceland is heated with the hot water from the earth.
Geysers are hot springs that periodically erupt hot water and steam. They usually result from underground water being heated by magma, causing pressure to build until the water is expelled forcefully. Geysers are natural wonders that attract tourists but can also pose danger if approached too closely.
Hot springs and geysers are caused by the presence of geothermally heated water deep underground. The water is heated by magma or hot rocks and rises to the surface through cracks and fissures in the Earth's crust. In geysers, the water rises quickly due to pressure build-up in underground chambers, resulting in intermittent eruptions.

Hot springs are the areas where water is constantly boiling inside a hole or heated pond. While Geyser is a hole where water is always rising into the air and then rising up again at a approximate time repeatedly.
