Why is hot water beach so geographically significant?

Question

i really need to know this! does anyone have any ideas? I already know HOW the hot water is heated and etc. but i don't know why it's such an important geographical feature in New Zealand. Does it help tell scientists when the next volcano will erupmt or something? Please tell me!!!

Answer 1

Its a unique geographic area and one that is a very specific habitat for very specific organisms that can not live anywhere else.
