[Geography Notes] on Hot Spring Pdf for Exam

Hot springs are also known as the thermal springs, which spurts water that has higher temperatures which are moreover higher than the air temperature of that region that is surrounding the spring. The hot springs are a discharge of the groundwater that is heated by shallow intrusions of the magma. 

However, these thermal springs are not related to volcanic activity. In the cases of hot springs, the water is heated by the convective circulation of groundwater which percolates downward and then reaches the depths of a kilometre or even more where the temperature of rocks is quite high because of the normal temperature that is the gradient of the crust of the earth.

Whereas, a hot tub is portable and has plumbing and other electrical control systems.
