- Other medium
Active Puna thermal springs tied to volcanism: fluids heated up to 160 °C at depth, 30 to 60 °C at the vent, deposits mostly travertine and halite (Kasemann et al., 2004). Only positive value among Puna fluids: heavier boron source (Mesozoic limestones or andesitic-dacitic arc volcanic rocks). Coordinates not published (map only).
