Look at the following passage from "Three Wonders of the World." Choose the two sentences that

Hot Springs National Park
Long before there were hot tubs, people used hot springs. The water helped them relax. Hot
springs are made of hot water that comes up from underground. Scientists say that for
thousands of years, people have used the hot springs of Arkansas for drinking. They also bathe
in it. Some people say the springs help them heal. Today, the hot springs are part of Hot
Springs National Park
The spring water comes from rainwater that seeps into the ground where it is heated by hot
rocks. The hot water goes back up through cracks in the ground. It may bring up minerals and
other matter from deep within the earth. This does not happen overnight, however. It takes
thousands of years.

water. Today, more than one million people visit the park each year. Some bathe, but most
camp and hike on the grounds that surround the springs
