Do you know what a thermal / geothermal spring is? This is any source when water heated above 20 degrees Celsius comes to the surface from the bowels. This happens when, in certain places on the earth's surface, especially where active volcanic activity is going on, underground water is heated to a hot state. It also happens that certain rocks are a source of heat. Thermal springs in Russia are the result of both reasons.
