Water flowing from hot springs ____________.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hot springs are known for their high mineral content, which is dissolved in the water as it flows underground and is heated by geothermal activity. The high temperature and pressure also cause chemical reactions, further increasing the mineral content. Therefore, water from hot springs generally contains more dissolved minerals than water from cool springs.

Answer: C 
 This statement is false. Water flowing from hot springs can be much hotter than 40°C and can reach temperatures that are dangerous for bathing. It is important to always check the temperature of the water and follow any posted warnings or guidelines.

Answer: D 
 This statement is false. While hot springs are commonly found in regions of active volcanic activity, they can also be found in non-volcanic areas where there is sufficient geothermal activity. The presence of hot springs does not necessarily indicate volcanic eruption.

Therefore, the answer is option A.
