Five pro spective manifestation areas, Mataloko, Nage-Keli Tiworiwu-Wolo Bobo, Soka, Mengeruda, Gou-Tukapela, are near three active volcanoes, Inerie, Inie Lika and Ebulobo and more than 30 monogenetic volcanoes. One hot spring, Mbay, is near the northeastern seashore. Temperatures of the hot springs were >90 deg C at the Mataloko, >75 deg C at the Nage, >70 deg C at the Keli Tiworiwu, >60 deg C at the Mbay and 40 to 45 deg C at the other areas. Geochemical characteristics of most hot water were acid sulfate type, except for Nage hot water, which is acid sulfate-chloride type. Origin of dissolved sulfate and chloride of acid hot springs was relatively low temperature volcanic gases containing hydrogen sulfide gases and interstitial water in acid alternation zone. However, dissolved sulfate and chloride of Nage hot springs may be from high temperature volcanic gases, which contain hydrogen chloride and sulfur dioxide, and interstitial water in the acid alternation zone and volcanic ash.
