Both are geysers, in effect releasing mineral rich heated water from an opening in the crust, but of course, geysers as we know them are land based, and hydrothermal vents are sea based. Hydrothermal vents also build 'chimneys' from the minerals pushed up by the superheated water, and are home to a unique array of sea life.

What is the difference between extreme halophile and thermoacidophile?
extreme halophiles: LOVE salt, use the salt to generate ATP, and are found in the Dead Sea and Great Salt Lakethermocidophiles: LOVE high acidity and temperatures,found in hot springs and volcanic vents
Types of volcanic vents?
Magma or lava vents and gas vents. Also fumarole.
Did Krakatoa's eruption have vents?
Yes. It probably did. Mostvolcanoes have vents. They let more lava escape.
What are the vents in a volcano?
Vents in the volcano are passage ways for the magma, steam, and heat to escape the earth.
How does magma inside a volcano become a lava flow outside?
The magma gushes out and then it flows every where. The volcano has vents that let air come out. When the vents open steam/ smoke comes out of those vents.
What do geysers and deep-sea vents that from chimneys have in common?

What is the difference between thermal vents and ocean volcanoes?
the thermvents are inside a volcano
Can you eat geothermal energy?
No. Geothermal energy is generally volcanic in nature and is steam vents, mud pots, and geysers.
How is geothermal energy good?
It exists, won't be depleted in our lifetimes, and produces no pollution. Exclusive of gas vents, volcanoes and geysers.
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 the difference between a crater and a vent?
When you see a volcano there are usually if it is not dormant, hot air flumes, these are emitted by vents. Vents are part of the volcano and are mostly in the crater. A crater is a cup shaped hole, made by the previous eruption. Craters are also caused when an explosion happens.
Difference between built-in and countertop microwaves?
a counter top sits in the open and vents without restrictions. a built in can be enclosed but has to have enough open space around front to vent...
What is the difference between vented and non-vented caps?
A vented gas cap vents the gas fumes into the atmosphere. A non-vented cap system routes the fumes thru the engine to be burned.
How are geysers like volcanoes?
Their source of energy and heat is gotten from molten magma by geothermal reactions. And they both erupt, under increased temperature and pressure through vents, holes, cracks or any other form of outlet or passage into the earth surface.
How plentiful or scarce is sulfur?
It is relatively plentiful around deep-sea vents, but scarce in the earth's crust. It is plentiful in the mantle, and sometimes comes up around volcanoes, creating a rotten-egg smell. This element also is found in geysers, such as in Yellowstone.
What is the difference between a crisper drawer and a fresh drawer in a refrigerator?
Crisper drawer has high humidity for green leafy vegetables and things that wilt, it's vents are close to trap moisture. Fresh drawer has lower humidity for fresh fruits and vegtables that hve skins and rot, it's vents are open to allow gases from fruits to escape.
What facilitates fresh air exchange between the liners and the shelter top?
Plastic vents
