Abstract:
Hot-springs, the heterogeneous presence of rising water with usually higher temperature than the immediate surrounding, have attracted the human kind and simultaneously arose curiosity to know the underlying causes behind their presence in certain locality. In this paper, an attempt has been made to map the distribution of hot-springs in India at the one hand and to find a relation with certain geological phenomena like presence of fault lines, heat flow regions of the continental crust, geothermal provinces, tectonic movements of lithosphere and vertical displacement as a result of plume-lithospheric interactions and geological hot-spots.
