Hydrothermal Vent • Hydrothermal vent- a deep-sea hot spring where heated seawater forces its way up through the crust. • Discovered rich communities in 1977. • Temperatures range from 10-20⁰C (50-68⁰F) to 350⁰C (660⁰F). • Mineral particles such as sulfides and carbonates precipitate to form chimneys.
