Hot springs are the product of geothermally heated water that breaks through the surface. Fracture zones are caused by movement of a nearby transform boundary. The uppermost part of the basaltic, oceanic crust tends to be very brittle; therefore, the crust will break in various spots as means of 'instantaneous stress relief'.

What boundary is the cause of hot springs and fracture zones?

Hot springs and fracture zones are typically found at tectonic plate boundaries, where the Earth's crust is fractured and allows for hot water to rise to the surface.
