'''Origin of Hydrothermal Vents''' | |||
In 1977, scientists discovered the first hydrothermal vent in the Pacific Ocean. The vents were called 'Black Smokers' and they used high levels of [[sulfides]] to create smoke. It was found that the smoke from the sulfide and cold ocean waters would collide, heating the water up to 400° celsius. When hydrothermal vents are formed, [[serpentinization]] occurs. Seabed rocks, which are rocks on the ocean floor, contain magnesium iron silicate that sparks a large reaction with the water, producing hydrogen. | In 1977, scientists discovered the first hydrothermal vent in the Pacific Ocean.
