Deep in the earth, beneath your feet, the molten rock of the earth's interior transmits heat upward through sold rock to ground water which has penetrated to that depth. This extremely hot water then forces its way upward through fissures and fractures, warming rocks and water as it goes. Where the hot water can escape at the ground surface, a hot spring is formed. Extremely hot water has properties important to the development of a hot spring's Plumbing system. First, its lower density allows it to rise more easily through small channels. Second, it is a much better solvent than is cooler water; it dissolves astounding amounts of silica, a common component of volcanic rock. In this way, channels are enlarged while others are soon clogged with new deposits. The dissolved minerals are rapidly deposited around the hot springs and geysers as the water cools and can no longer hold it in solution. Hot springs differ from geysers in that their underground systems allow rapid circulation of water. The rising hot water dissipates heat energy by evaporation or runoff, while convection currents return the cooler water to the underground system, keeping it in equilibrium.

hot springs are formed by the heat from the hot rocks. when rainwater coming into contact with the rocks below the earth's surface. natural pressure causes this hot water to flow or gush out as a hot spring
A hot spring forms when groundwater is heated by a nearby body of magma or by hot rock deep underground.
by heated ground water from earths crust.
these hot springs are just out of whakatane and south of rotorua
Geothermal pools are formed where the hot rocks below the surface of the earth are close enough to warm pools of water on the surface. Areas of volcanic activity typically have hot springs, as in the North Island of New Zealand.
No
magma (A+)
Desert Hot Springs has a desert climate so would be quite hot in August. Average high temperature in August is 107.3 degrees F or 41.8 degrees C.
hot spring --------------------- Hot springs rare most are just "Springs".

there are not springs in springs they are hot steam which can be used for renewable energy
Hot Springs National Park is located in Hot Springs, Arkansas, USA
It's called magma it is formed when lava and water are formed togther.
no there is not any hot springs in Barbados
