GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -A hot spring, hydrothermal spring, or geothermal spring is a spring produced by the emergence of geothermally heated groundwater onto the surface of the Earth. The groundwater is heated either by shallow bodies of magma (molten rock) or by circulation through faults to hot rock deep in the Earth’s crust.

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: -If underground rock formations are heated to about 700-1, 300° C (1, 300-2, 400° F), they can become magma. Magma is molten (partly melted) rock permeated by gas and gas bubbles. Magma exists in the mantle and lower crust, and sometimes bubbles to the surface as lava. Magma heats nearby rocks and underground aquifers.

Detailed explanation-4: -A hot spring is a spring that is produced when geothermally heated groundwater emerges from the Earth’s crust. Some hot springs have waters that are cool enough for bathing, but in volcanic areas water may come into contact with rock that has been heated by magma.
