1 Hydrothermal Vents- Chapters 2, 5, 16

2 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.
