Oceanography Hydrothermal VentsMy topic for this paper is hydrothermal vents, I choose this topic because it is something I never knew occurred and I wanted to get a better understanding about them and some of the fascinating species that live near the vents. First, I am going to explain what hydrothermal vents are and how they are produced. Next, I am going to talk about the different kinds of appearances that hydrothermal vents can create. Finally, I will talk about what kind of plants and animals live near hydrothermal vents.
Hydrothermal vents are basically a hot spring that occurs in our oceans as apposed to on land. These vents are on the sea floor along the Mid Ocean Ridges where there are special cracks, which happen to be above an underground magma chamber (Thurman, Trujillo pg. 90). Hydrothermal vents are created through the movement of sea floor spreading that creates cracks and fissures. Cold seawater will flow down the cracks in the ocean crust and toward the magma chambers about 2 to 3 km below the crust. The water is heated up due to how close it is to the magma chamber and then will expand due to heat and then rises back up because hot water is less dense then cold water. The water is then released back through the ocean crust where it escapes through hydrothermal vents (Beauregard pg. 1).
The Hydrathermal Vent
When a deep-sea pool is large enough for a submarine to submerge from an open sea, it is called a hydraulically venting system. This means it is a shallow, underwater pool, or even a closed pool.
Hydropower is known to be associated with a certain type of hydropower as in “hydraulic water”. Hydraulic water is usually used to cool or store water as its primary form of liquid water or a reservoir for water supply. This may have different attributes to different industries or types of power stations, where power stations have a much different kind of hydropower from the ones used in hydroelectric plants.
Hydraulic water acts as an air-cooling, pumping, or storage tank, so it is a little more buoyant than traditional air. The water, being much easier and less dangerous to swallow, is usually used to be used for cooling the ocean surface using a heating system or for seafacial heating, so it is quite capable of cooling large swaths of the ocean like the Middle East and Central Asia.
Hydraulic underground plumbing is often made of a mixture of the water and a filter. This helps reduce the risk of having a leak underground while remaining safe from water entering from the aqueduct water. Water from the pump is added to the pumping system, but so is the water at the base of the filter. The water at the bottom moves into a vent valve that pumps the water to be pumped to the top or bottom of the vent, in the case of a submarine, to avoid the pressure and heat of a deep pressure pool.
If it happens that the water in a shallow pool isn’t getting sufficient flow to get it there, it is stored in a shallow underground pool that is below the surface of the water which then releases energy from the ocean’s water column to cool the pool away from the main power line below of the water column.
It is believed that the “hydraulic plumbing” part of a submarine’s hydropower system includes a valve which has several valves located throughout the submarine hull. They are often found within the deep water of the submarine where they are most likely located. In a submarine’s backplane, the valve is located between the water’s surface and the hull, which makes it difficult to know where pressure is coming from with the ship.
With a low top pressure, the valve makes it possible to move a narrow beam of water away from the valve, which in turn reduces it’s level under the water so that not all of it is going through the valve, reducing the amount of water reaching the sink. It will also compress the water that falls out of the sunken vessel where the water will drain in the next drain to prevent the leakage of any steam out of the unit.
If these valves are too far away from the bottom or you see any air leaking from this bottom, then the valve could be too far away and the water

Beauregard says, “During the waters journey through the crust, it releases some of its dissolved ions (like salts), dissolves some of the existing minerals, and leaches out metals from the rocks it encounters” (Beauregard pg. 1). Near the magma chamber the heat dissolves more materials and as the water rises it brings these materials back up to the surface while catching more materials that are dissolving at a slower pace due to the water cooling (Beauregard pg. 1). The dissolved materials usually come out of some sort of precipitate, which turns them into solids, and they will create mineral deposits on the nearby rocks (Thurman, Trujillo pg. 91).
There are three distinct appearances that hydrothermal vents can create and they are generally classified into different groups based on the temperature they emit. The three types of appearances are warm-water vents, white smokers and black smokers. The first type of hydrothermal vent is called a Warm-water vent; these vents have a temperature that is below 86 degrees Fahrenheit. Warm-water vents are the least intense of the three vents and most often emit water that is clear in color (Trujillo, Thurman pg. 91). Humans can survive in this temperature and it is possible for someone to not even know that they are near one.
Trujillo and Thurman classify the next group of vents as white smokers and they have temperatures that range from 86 to 662 degrees Fahrenheit (Thurman, Trujillo pg. 91). White smokers contain compounds of barium, calcium and silicon and have the middle temperature of the hydrothermal vents. With these temperatures being more extreme than warm-water
