Why does extremely hot water emit from hydrothermal vents?
water vapor cant form from liquid water
Naturally hot water containing many minerals and found on the surface of the earth is called?
Hydrothermal springs / hydrothermal water.
Why do shallow earthquakes occur at divergent boundaries?
because the magma gets so hot in these areas that it spew up using the vents. It is shallow because that is where the magma is the hottest- aka only magma that can make it through the hydrothermal vents penis
What is the name of the rock chimneys called that are underwater?
I think you might be referring to geo-thermal vents - also called hydrothermal vents, and black smokers. These are underwater spots where extremely hot water (up to 400 degrees Celsius) issues from beneath the sea floor. Once thought to be too hot (and too far removed from sunlight) to allow life near them they have been found to be home to thriving communities of newly discovered species- the first to be discovered which don't take their energy directly from the sun.
How do hydrothermal deposits?
Most hydrothermal deposits form from hot, metal-rich fluids that are left during the late stages of the movement and cooling of magma.

Why were scientists surprised to find life around hydrothermal vents?
hot springs on the sea floor that pump out superheated water from inside earth.
What hydrothermal means?
Hydrothermal means hot water. A hydrothermal power station uses geothermal heat( hot rocks) to raise water to steam temperatures by pumping water down a well and up a parallel bore hole to drive a turbine to generate electricity. See Icelandic geothermal power A hydrothermal vent is an hot spring of water heated by geothermal or volcanic heat underground. These vents can be on land such as the 'Old Faithful' geyser in Yellowstone National Park. They can also be in the ocean where scalding hot water vents into the sea and can support animal life far away from sunlight and conventional plant food.
What are hydrothermal vents?
Hot water geysers. Hydrothermal vents are caused by magma deep in the earth. e.g The vent crab is a good swimmer, has infrared vision (to see in the dark), has good sense of smell and can adapt to very low and very high temperatures.
What is another name for a deep sea hydrothermal vent?
They are known, simply, as hydrothermal vents. They only occur in the deep ocean. Some specific types are cold seeps, white smokers and hot smokers. If you are looking for specific hydrothermal vents the Lost City and Loki's castle are fields of hydrothermal vents in the mid-Atlantic and Majic Mountain is a hydrothermal vent field located about 150 miles west of Vancouver.
Naturally hot water containing many minerals and found on the surface of the earth is called?
Hydrothermal springs / hydrothermal water.
What re animal extremophiles?
exremophiles are bacteria that can withstand extreme climates (live in tundras, hot springs, hydrothermal vents in the ocean)
What vents are located near mid ocean ridges leaking hot water and nutrients and providing an environment for organisms to live in the deep dark water?
They are called hydrothermal vents. Some types emit water with high concentrations of dissolved minerals which precipitate when they come into contact with the cold sea water. These are known as "black smokers". Please see the related links.
What is in a under water volcano?
Usually basaltic magma and hot hydrothermal fluids.
What does an extremophile eat?
Thermophiles are found in various geothermally heated regions of the Earth. The live in hot springs like those in Yellowstone National Park and deep sea hydrothermal vents.
Why do shallow earthquakes occur at divergent boundaries?
because the magma gets so hot in these areas that it spew up using the vents. It is shallow because that is where the magma is the hottest- aka only magma that can make it through the hydrothermal vents penis
What are hot water vents?
Hot water vents are usually cracks, or holes in the Earth's crust that are under water. The heat from the mantle comes up through these cracks and heats the water causing it to boil, the hot water rises and that forms a underwater jet.
