sulfur deposits

Sulfur deposits are accumulations of elemental sulfur that can form naturally in volcanic areas or underground geologic formations. They occur when sulfur, released during volcanic activity or from hydrothermal vents, cools and solidifies. These deposits may appear as bright yellow crystals or crusts, often found near fumaroles or hot springs. Sulfur deposits are valuable for industrial uses, including producing sulfuric acid, fertilizers, and chemicals. Their formation is part of natural geothermal processes, reflecting the movement of sulfur-rich fluids through the Earth's crust.
