What makes the water hot in Hot Springs Arkansas?
Unlike other natural hot springs around the world, the hot springs in Hot Springs, Arkansas are not from heated volcanic activity. Instead, the water is heated from geothermic activity - essentially heated rocks from deep in the earth. In volcanic hot springs, you’ll usually see steam because the temperatures of volcanic hot springs are much hotter than those in Arkansas. The hot springs in Arkansas are the result of a geothermal gradient. As water plunges through the earth rapidly it is heated simply because water naturally increases in temperature as it moves. The water in Arkansas’ hot springs comes out of the ground at around 140 degrees Fahrenheit. It’s also very clean because it doesn’t have the sulfurous component that volcanic activity produces.
