What are the springs that form where pressurized water flows through cracks in cap rock?
The springs that form where pressurized water flows through cracks in cap rock are called Artesian springs. This is the type of spring that feeds drinking wells.

What do springs and geysers have in common?
Springs and geysers both involve the release of groundwater to the surface. Springs release water continuously, while geysers release water intermittently in the form of a high-pressure stream due to underground pressure buildup.
What kind of springs form where pressurized water flows through cracks in cap rocks?
Artesian springs form where pressurized water flows through cracks in cap rock.
How do artesian wells form?
Artesian wells form when water is confined between layers of impermeable rock or clay, creating pressure that forces the water to rise to the surface naturally. This pressure comes from the weight of the water in the aquifer and the geological structure of the surrounding rock formations. When a well is drilled into this pressurized aquifer, the water flows upward without the need for pumping.
How are glaciers and geysers different?
Glaciers are large pieces of ice floating in cold waters (Antarctica, south pole, north pole, etc..)Geysers are hot springs -- look up hot springs
What forms when water slowly bubbles underground?
When water slowly bubbles underground, it can form geysers or hot springs. Geysers erupt intermittently, releasing steam and water into the air, while hot springs have a constant flow of warm water to the surface. Both are caused by underground volcanic activity or geothermal heating.
What are Ireland's main water sources?
From nature, in the form of rain, springs, wells, rivers and lakes with some of these being put into reservoirs.
What is geyserite?
Geyserite is a type of siliceous sinter, a form of opaline silica that is deposited around geysers and hot springs. It forms when hot water dissolves silica underground and then brings it to the surface where it precipitates out as the water cools, creating a characteristic white to gray mineral deposit. Geyserite can often be found encrusting the edges of geyser basins and pools.
What country has many geysers?
Iceland is known for its many geysers.
Can geysers form on Saturn?
No. Saturn does not have a solid surface.
What forms when the water er table is exposed to the surface?
When the water table is at the surface, we can see a spring form (or an oasis). A pond, lake, swamp or some form of standing water might appear. An estuary (brook, stream, river, etc.) could also form, depending on conditions, including the geology and geography of the area.To read a bit more about the water table, use the link.
