Hydrothermal circulation
Hydrothermal circulation in its most general sense is the circulation of hot water; 'hydros' in the Greek meaning water and 'thermos' meaning heat. Hydrothermal circulation occurs most often in the vicinity of sources of heat within the Earth's
crust. This generally occurs near
volcanic activity, but can occur in the deep crust related to the intrusion of
granite, or as the result of
orogeny or
metamorphism.
