    • نبذة مختصرة :
      Hydrothermal vents are openings on the sea floor where hot water is released. Hydrothermal water forms when cold seawater percolates down into the seabed rock and toward the underlying mantle, where hot rocks heat it. This interaction changes both rocks and water. Deposits rich in metals form around these vents, and many ore deposits originally developed in similar environments. Numerous organisms live around hydrothermal vents, supported by bacteria that derive their energy from the reduction of sulfide to sulfate.
