What is a hydrothermal vent?
A vein is a deposit of minerals found within a rock fracture that are not part of the host rock. A hydrothermal vein is a vein which is filled with minerals that contain large amounts of water. This water is chemically bound water, meaning that it is part of the chemical formula for that mineral.
How did vein minerals get there?
Superheated water forces its way into rock faults. It contains many dissolved minerals which crystallise out when the water cools.
