What are the steps by which minerals deposits form around chimneys on the ocean floor?
1) Ocean water seeps down through cracks in the crust. 2) Water comes in contact with magma that heats it to a very high temperature. 3) The heated water then dissolves minerals from the crust and rushes upward. 4)The solution billows out of chimneys. When the solution hits the sea, minerals crystallize on the ocean floor.
