When you’re boiling a pot of water, right before the water starts to boil if you watch carefully at the bottom of the pot there will be tiny bubbles that form and disappear. Why do they just disappear instead of floating up to the top once they’re already formed??

A follow-up question on the same lines
Why then do the bubbles appear to form at specific single points at the bottom of the pan? It’s like a steady stream of bubbles from that location.
Based on the answers I went through this thread bubbles form because the vessel is heated and so adjacent water turns to vapor, but then why only specific locations?
