1. of or relating to mineral deposits formed at relatively low temperatures, typically below 200°C, in the final stages of magmatic cooling
Usage: geology; technical
2. relating to or characterized by abnormally low body temperature
Usage: medical

Examples

• The hypothermal veins in the rock formation contained valuable mineral deposits.
• Geologists classified the ore as hypothermal based on its crystalline structure and formation temperature.
• Hypothermal conditions in the late stages of magma cooling produced quartz and feldspar crystals.
• The patient's hypothermal state required immediate warming measures.
• Hypothermal mineral deposits are often found in the outer zones of igneous intrusions.
