 Hot spring - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A hot spring or a hydrothermal spring is a place where warm or hot groundwater issues from the ground on a regular basis for at least a predictable part of the year, and is significantly above the ambient ground temperature (which is usually around 55–57 °F or 13–14 °C in the eastern United States).
The water issuing from a hot spring is heated by geothermal heat, essentially heat from the Earth's interior.
Warm springs are sometimes the result of hot and cold springs mixing but may also occur outside of geothermal areas, such as Warm Springs, Georgia (frequented for its therapeutic effects by polio-stricken U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt, who built the Little White House there).
