GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The spring produced by the emergence of geothermally heated groundwater that rises from the earth’s crust is called hot spring.

Detailed explanation-2: -A Hot Spring, also known as a geothermal spring is a naturally occurring spring of water that emerges due to heated groundwater. The heat produced is either through the magma within the Earth’s crust or through the movement of fault in the crust.

Detailed explanation-3: -Subsurface magma heats groundwater, creating steam and hot water. The hot, less dense water rises through fissures and cracks in the ground. When it reaches the surface, features such as geysers, fumaroles, hot springs, and mud pits are created.

Detailed explanation-4: -Hot springs are formed when water is heated by Earth’s geothermal energy. Hot springs can utilize geothermal energy in two ways. Most hot springs formed when rain or groundwater seeps below Earth’s surface through cracks and faults.

Detailed explanation-5: -hot spring, also called thermal spring, spring with water at temperatures substantially higher than the air temperature of the surrounding region. Most hot springs discharge groundwater that is heated by shallow intrusions of magma (molten rock) in volcanic areas.
