In 1977, scientists discovered the first hydrothermal vent along the Galapagos Islands in the Pacific Ocean. Some 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. As a result of all these reactions, some may say they are like geysers or hot springs on the ocean floor. Discovered in 2000 are hydrothermal vents, called 'white smokers', that discharge a lighter colored volume of minerals. This is because there are different chemicals used than black smokers. Because the white smokers contain barium, calcium, and silicon. The difference in chemicals also affects the temperature as white smokers are much cooler. https://www.nationalgeographic.org/media/deep-sea-hydrothermal-vents/ | In 1977, scientists discovered the first hydrothermal vent along the Galapagos Islands in the Pacific Ocean.

In 1993, a geochemist named Michael Russell came up with the idea that life may have started in these hydrothermal vents. Later on in 2003, he changed his theory saying that life originated from the energy created when the vent water mixed with acidic seawater. https://www.chemistryworld.com/features/hydrothermal-vents-and-the-origins-of-life/3007088.article Of course, this is not the only theory about hydrothermal vents and the origin of life. There is another theory that [[archaebacteria]] lived and reproduced in hydrothermal vents from the very start. Many scientists believe that archae were the ancestors of eukaryotic organisms. According to scientists, the heat and pressure of these sea vents can change the forms of archae and DNA of all living organisms can be tracked all the way back to the sea vents. Some scientists also believe that the DNA of these archaens are closers to eukaryotic organisms rather than bacteria. Apparently, with time passing, these organisms with a single cell evolved into organisms with colonial cells. https://www.thoughtco.com/early-life-theory-of-hydrothermal-vents-1224529 | In 1993, a geochemist named Michael Russell came up with the idea that life may have started in these hydrothermal vents. Later on in 2003, he changed his theory saying that life originated from the energy created when the vent water mixed with acidic seawater. Michael Russell's theory sparked a whole new argument for evolutionists to stand behind. https://www.chemistryworld.com/features/hydrothermal-vents-and-the-origins-of-life/3007088.article Of course, this is not the only theory about hydrothermal vents and the origin of life.
