thermal waters
Naturally heated pools
Thermal waters are naturally heated groundwater that emerges from the earth at temperatures significantly above the surrounding air.
Hot springs, geysers, and geothermal pools are sources of thermal waters.
Many cultures have long valued them for bathing and purported healing properties: The resort town grew up around its thermal waters.
The heat typically comes from volcanic activity or deep circulation through hot rock.
