Question
'X' is a vent in Earths surface that periodically ejects a column of hot water and steam. The formation of it is a rare phenomenon because it is due to particular hydrogeological conditions which exist at few places on Earth. Taupo volcanic zone in New Zealand is one of its examples. Identify 'X'.

Solution
The correct option is A Geyser
- A geyser is a vent in Earth's surface that periodically ejects
a column of hot water and steam. They are a quite rare phenomenon on Earth due to the precise conditions
that are required for them to form. They are mainly clustered near
active volcanic areas.
- The Taupo Volcanic Zone in New Zealand is 350 km long and 50 km wide and contains volcanoes, hot springs and geysers. The largest geyser ever known, the Waimangu Geyser, sat in the Taupo Volcanic Zone.
