Two topics related to the biological communities that live near deep-sea hydrothermal vents are discussed here. The behavior of the chemosynthetic...
A hot spring on the ocean floor, where heated fluids exit from cracks in the Earth's crust. Most hydrothermal vents occur along the central axes of...
Submarine hydrothermal vent environments span the temperature range from 2°C (36°F) for ambient deep seawater to over 400°C (750°F) for some...
Hydrothermal vents (in 'Lost City Hydrothermal Field' update)
Hydrothermal vents are typically found where oceanic plates are spreading apart. These spreading centers make up a global network of tall undersea mou
Deep-sea hydrothermal vent bacteria (in 'Marine microbiology' article)
Two types of hydrothermal vents have been investigated: warm vents (8--25°C or 46--77°F) with flow rates of 1--2 cm (0.4--0.8 in.)/s, and hot vents (2
