  2. You can tell the spring is hot because it's steaming. I think the water for the spring comes from the ground, and Earths core warmed it up.

    Because there is steam rising from it.
    Hot springs represent the raison d’etre for our national park system. The first park in Canada was a tiny 26 sq. km. (10 sq. mi.) reserve around several hot springs at the base of Sulphur Mountain, named the Banff Hot Springs Reserve. Two years later, the reserve was enlarged to include Devil's Head Lake (today's Lake Minnewanka) and the Banff town site and it became the Rocky Mountains Park of Canada. Our first national park was renamed Banff National Park in 1930. Banff is the third National Park in the world behind Yellowstone in the U.S., and Royal National Park in Australia. It’s interesting to note that the first National Park in the world, Yellowstone, was also set aside for its thermal features.

    frosen and there is steam coming from the spring.

  27. You can tell it's a hot spring because it's steaming, that means it's hot. The hot water I think comes from the earth's core, but the water itself comes from the ground.

  32. How can you tell the water in this spring is hot? Because you can see some steam coming up from it and that usually means its hot.

    how i can tell that the spring is warm is because you can see steem coming up off the water, melting some of the snow. i think it comes from some sort of hot stream that gradually got bigger or something like that....

  49. If I were a monkey, I would go to the hot springs and swim around. It would be warm, so if it's really cold one day, I could be in my own little hot tub. Or, if I were a genius monkey, I would build a tavern in the woods where all monkeys can go and be warm, and be served warm food.

    You can tell the water is warm because steam rises up and off of it.

    I think the water comes from other streams and rivers. It could come from a waterfall? The snow could melt around it and pour into the spring.

  50. You can see smoke from the water and the monkeys wouldn't be in there.

    Somewhere hot.

  53. You can tell that that water must be hot because the water is steaming, ans why would the monkeys be in the water if it was cold.

    The water probably comes from below the earth and probably "ejects" itself through little geysers.

    ReplyDelete
  54. If I were a monkey, I would want to live near a hot spring because if it was cold I could just swim around to stay warm.

    You would be able to tell the water is hot because there would be steam coming of the surface of the water.

    Maybe the snow that is around the spring will melt and then fill up the the spring.

  71. You can tell if a hot spring is a hot spring by the steam that is rising and evaporating in the cool air.
