Deep Sea Vents

Deep Sea Vents. By: Lauren Keith. How it Forms. Earth’s plates move and create cracks in the earth. Water flows into these cracks. Magma heats the water. Water then rises and finds a way through the seafloor and into the ocean. http://www.seasky.org/deep-sea/hydrothermal-vents.html.

  1. Deep Sea Vents By: Lauren Keith

  2. How it Forms • Earth’s plates move and create cracks in the earth. • Water flows into these cracks. • Magma heats the water. • Water then rises and finds a way through the seafloor and into the ocean. http://www.seasky.org/deep-sea/hydrothermal-vents.html

  3. Chemicals • While heating there are several chemicals in these deep sea vents, such as: • Oxygen • Sulfur • Copper • Zinc • Iron http://www.economist.com/node/18618033

  4. Temperature • The temperature at that depth in the ocean without a deep sea vent are about 2°C (35.6°F). http://www.treehugger.com/clean-technology/even-hiding-in-deep-sea-vents-wont-save-you-from-climate-change.html

  5. Creatures • Creatures that live around these deep sea vents include: • Tube worms • Shrimp • Crabs • Clams http://www.seasky.org/deep-sea/hydrothermal-vents.html
