Obviously water but are there other molecules like sulfur et al? Edit: also do hot springs stink cuzza sulfur?
minus-squareAtrichum@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up18·19 days agoWhat else there is will vary greatly depending on the geologic context of the hot spring. Along with water vapor there can be gasses such as carbon dioxide, hydrogen, hydrogen sulfide, helium, radium, argon, methane, and I’m sure many other things.
