Geology
English term or phrase: blowhole
Bom dia a todos! Será que me podiam indicar qual o equivalente de "blowhole" em PT? Muito obrigada pela ajuda e disponibilidade.

blowhole (geology): In geology, a blowhole is a cavity formed in the ground at the inland end of a sea cave. When waves enter the mouth of the cave they will be funneled up towards the blowhole, which can result in quite spectacular splashes if the geometry and state of the weather is appropriate.
