How do hot springs and warm springs form?
What will be an ideal response?
Ground water that flows through hot rocks heats quickly, and since water has a high heat capacity, it retains much of the heat energy as it moves toward the surface to discharge as a hot spring. The heat source can be an adjacent shallow magma chamber (e.g., Yellowstone) or deeply circulating ground water that flows upwards along a contact between sedimentary rock and less permeable crystalline rock (Warm Springs, GA).
