After a volcano has finished erupting materials, the volcano will
continue to emit acid gases. This is called the fumarolic
stage. After this phase, hot springs may arise from the volcano. This type of activity can be seen in the geysers of Yellowstone National Park in
Wyoming.
Eventually, after a long time the last traces of volcanic heat will disappear. Springs of cold
water may come from the volcano and from the ground in its area, signaling the dormancy of the volcano.
