That blowhole is 1. opening in the roof of a cave or cavern through which air is expelled vigorously. in coastal areas the phenomenon is usually due to compression of air within the cave by incoming tides or waves [20]. 2. cliff top entrance to a sea cave, also known as a geo, gloop, or gloup [9]. 3. (australian.) a small hole in the surface of the nullarbor plain through which air blows in and out with observable force, sometimes audibly [10]. related to breathing hole.synonyms: (french.) trou souffleur; (german.) windhohle; (greek.) ope ekphysosa; (italian.) bocca soffiante; (spanish.) soplador; (turkish.) uflenme agzi; (yugoslavian.) vjetrenica, veternica, puhaljka, pihalnik, dihalnik. see also steam hole.?
