Geyser

A Geyser (/ˈɡaɪzər/, also /ˈɡiːzə/) is a spring characterized by intermittent discharge of water ejected turbulently and accompanied by steam. As a fairly rare phenomenon, the formation of geysers is due to particular hydrogeological conditions that exist only in a few places on Earth. Generally all geyser field sites are located near active volcanic areas, and the geyser effect is due to the proximity of magma. Generally, surface water works its way down to an average depth of around 2,000 metres (6,600 ft) where it contacts hot rocks. The resultant boiling of the pressurized water results in the geyser effect of hot water and steam spraying out of the geyser's surface vent (a hydrothermal explosion).

In The Quran

(23:27) So We inspired him: "Construct the Ship under Our eyes and Our inspiration. Then, when Our command comes and the geyser (Arab. التَّنُّورُ, l-tanūru) erupts, then you shall take on the Ship two from every pair, and your family; except for those of them upon whom the word has come. Do not address Me regarding those who have done wrong, for they will be drowned."

(11:40) So, when Our command came and the geyser (Arab. التَّنُّورُ, l-tanūru) erupted. We said, "Carry in it two from every pair, and your family; except those against whom the word has been issued; and whoever acknowledged." But those who acknowledged with him were few.
