This figure shows a schematic diagram depicting how "hot springs (geysers)" are produced through hot magma (molten mass), the fractured crystalline rocks, the permeable rocks and percolating ground water. Geothermal System-Hot Spring System Structure At a depth of 5000 m or so lies an impermeable magma. Above the magma are the 'impermeable rocks' which are overlain by localised pockets of [...]
