Hydrothermal means hot water.

A hydrothermal power station uses geothermal heat( hot rocks) to raise water to steam temperatures by pumping water down a well and up a parallel bore hole to drive a turbine to generate electricity. See Icelandic geothermal power

A hydrothermal vent is an hot spring of water heated by geothermal or volcanic heat underground. These vents can be on land such as the 'Old Faithful' geyser in Yellowstone National Park. They can also be in the ocean where scalding hot water vents into the sea and can support animal life far away from sunlight and conventional plant food.
