Geothermal Activity Natural Disaster
Geothermal Activity Natural Disaster :
Geothermal activity results from elevated heat flow in the Earth's crust. One of the ways heat flow becomes elevated is by intrusion of magma to shallow levels in the crust, such as below a volcano. Typical features of geothermal activity are hot springs, geysers, fumaroles and bubbling mud pools. These features form when rainwater seeps into the ground where it is heated by hot rock. The hot water becomes buoyant, and rises back to the surface along cracks in the Earth's surface. The water heated by geothermal activity is called hydrothermal water
