Deep Sea Vents

The deep sea is the last undiscovered boundary line on the earth. The deep sea ventilation community is very strange, let your students believe this is the scientific subject worth learning! These resources will help your students establish a real connection with biology, geology and chemistry. They also master many important scientific skills, including research skills (online and online), observation, explanation and analysis.

Jon Copley, a professor of the Earth and Marine Science at Southampton University explained that the vents in the deep sea of ​​Antarctica were oddly alive, but no one in Antarctica had found a vent of hot liquids. He also participated in the study. This is mainly because the study in the harsh South Sea is more difficult than the study in a mild climate. The Antarctic Map Survey of 1999 showed hints of the water column in the Atlantic Ocean of the Atlantic Ocean between the South Atlantic and South America, and the hot water jet of the East Scotia Ridge in the east. It took ten years for a full exploration. Meanwhile, the camera was shrunk to two locations with depths of 8,530 feet (2,600 m) and 7,874 feet (2,400 m). Antarctic hydrothermal vent There is a "black chimney" in it, there is a vent like a chimney that emits overheated water of dark tone

Located at the bottom of the deep sea, the hydrothermal vents face a sudden and new threat: deep sea mining. The hydrothermal vents are sediments of important mineral origin and Nautilus Minerals in Canada is planning to first use the deep sea hydrothermal vents on the coast of New Guinea, in this case copper, in 2013. (10/23/2011) Imagine a single-celled creature of mango size. This is not a science fiction, but the fact that scientists are leaving dozens of huge single-celled creatures in the world's ocean, about 4 inches (10 cm). However, recent exploration of the Mariana trench revealed the deepest record of single celled beasts called exogenous spores.

The first discovery in 1977 is that the deep sea hydrothermal vent community was full of vitality. Prior to that, it was thought that few species could survive near the deep ocean, close to any kind of volcanic activity and hot water generation. But in 1977 geologists working near the Galapagos encountered a 6 - foot high worm and a huge community of other new species, all of them near the hot - water inlet. The seawater found in the cracks of the ocean floor is heated by volcanic activity, the density lowers and rises. When this water comes in contact with newly solidified rocks, many minerals will elute from the new rock. In many ventilation areas, super hot water rises rapidly from the seabed and many minerals appear black. As it rises from the ocean floor, some minerals settle down and form a "chimney" around the drainage channel. These chimneys can grow to a height of 40 feet while black minerals rich hot water
