What are two types of hydrothermal vents?
Two types of hydrothermal vents are black smokers and white smokers. Black smokers are vents that emit dark plumes of mineral-rich fluids with temperatures exceeding 350°C, while white smokers emit lighter-colored fluids with lower temperatures.
What gives black smokers their black color?
black smokers are hydrothermal vents emitting sulphides such as iron sulphide, zinc sulphide, copper sulphide etc Which are black in color hence called black smoker.....there are white smoker which emit sulphates like barium sulphate and gypsum(CaSO4) which are white and there the name white smoker.
What is a black smoker?
A black smoker is a underwater vent pipe that vents very hot magma heated saltwater and it grows in height to as much as 20 feet. Even at high temperatures crabs and shrimp live on these smokers.
What are black smokers in the ocean?
A black smoker is a underwater vent pipe that vents very hot magma-heated saltwater and it grows in height to as much as 20 feet. Even at high temperatures crabs and shrimp live on these smokers.
What is the difference between black smoker and hydrothermal vents?
A black smoker is a hydrothermal vent.... A white smoker is different than a black smoker because its cooler and contains compounds of barium, calcium, and silicon, which are white. Black smoker are hotter and contain iron, sulfide, and when combined that form monosulfide.
Black smoker vents on the sea floor are black due to fine particles of?
iron sulfide
How do you control the heat in a smoker?
Smokers are designed with vents on both the top and bottom of the smoker unit. Typically, the bottom vents are used to fan or fuel the flame inside. Adjusting the bottom vent either flames your fire or smolders it. The top vents are the ones that are typically used to control the heat inside the smoker. The more you open the vents, the more heat will escape out. The tighter you keep them closed, the more the heat will remain inside the smoking unit.
What oceans dothe blind shrimp live?
clusters near a black smoker (deep-sea vents)
Black and white smokers are submerged by what type of volcanoes?
A chimney like vent on the ocean floor. It is a hydrothermal vent.
Where would you expect to find chemosynthetic organisms?
such organisms would be bacteria, fungi, protozoa, algae and other microorganisms mostly you would only need to find a rock and have a powerful microscope
How Smokey does a BBQ smoker get?
It depends on how much wood you use and how you set your exhaust vents. It can get very smokey if you close the vents and add a bunch of wood chips/chunks
What is the location of black smokers in relation to plate tectonics?
At divergent plate boundaries crust moves apart by tensional forces. Black smokers occur because cold water mixes with hot volcanic magma thousands of miles below the crust. As the mixture rises, it removes minerals from surrounding rocks. When this mixture comes in contact with the cold ocean water the minerals precipitate and form the "black smoke" that we observe.
