Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hot springs are typically found in areas with recent volcanism, near tectonic plate boundaries, or in regions with significant geological activity such as faulting. Florida does not fit these criteria as it is mainly characterized by its warm sea water and lacks recent volcanism, significant faulting, or the presence of tectonic plate boundaries that would lead to the formation of hot springs.
