menerals crystallize in the cold sea.
yes, the minerals come from rock chimneys on the ocean floor
black smokers
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.
The hot water solution cools and evaporates, leaving behind the mineral.
the chimneys that shoot up minerals slowly build on itself and forms.
