How did spring come?

Atmospheric precipitation seeps into the ground and flows along the inclined direction of the rock stratum. When blocked by intrusive rock mass, confined water gushes from the surface to form spring water.

Spring water provides an ideal water source for human beings, and can also constitute many ornamental landscapes and tourism resources, such as physiotherapy springs and drinking springs. There are countless springs in China, which are widely distributed and rich in types, and there are countless famous springs everywhere.

According to the chemical composition, temperature, osmotic pressure and pH of water, it can be divided into cold spring, mineral spring and ornamental spring.

Distribution of spring water:

China is one of the countries with the richest springs in the world. There are tens of thousands of springs in China, including more than 100 famous springs. Yongquan is mainly distributed in mountainous areas, especially in foothills and valleys. In areas with abundant surface runoff, there are more springs. So there are more springs in the south than in the north.

The formation of hot springs is closely related to underground thermal energy. Under the influence of volcanic magmatism, large-scale springs, especially hot springs, are often formed in areas with active crust.

The most active area of the earth's crust in the world is the contact zone between plates. There are two major volcanic seismic belts in the world, one is the Pacific Rim volcanic seismic belt, and the other is the Mediterranean-Himalayan volcanic seismic belt. China is located between the two volcanoes and the earthquake zone, which is rich in geothermal resources, resulting in tens of thousands of hot springs all over the country.
