How the hot springs form at Bath
•The water fells as rain on the nearby Mendip Hills.• It percolates down through limestone aquifers to a depth of between 2-4 km where geothermal energy raises the water temperature.• Under pressure, the heated water rises to the surface along fissures and faults • Hot water at a temperature of 46 °C rises here at the rate of 1 million litres every day.
