Volcanic geothermal prospects with surface manifestations can be very striking with hot ground temperatures, steam releases from the ground itself, and fumaroles continuously expelling gases and fluids. Ground surface temperature measurements have exceeded 100°C in some locations.
Volcanic island arc geothermal plays can be located in a chain of islands or across the length of larger islands. These islands are formed when two oceanic tectonic plates converge and one plate is subducted below the other plate.
