The most famous example is "Old Faithful" in Yellowstone National Park. Yellowstone is one of the most prolific source of geysers in the world.
A geyser is a type of hot spring that erupts periodically, ejecting a column of hot water and steam into the air. The name geyser comes from Geysir, the name of an erupting spring at Haukadalur, Iceland; that name, in turn, comes from the Icelandic verb gjósa, "to gush".
Go to the site below and type in geyser, they have everything you wanted or didn't want to know.
