What are the steps by which minerals deposits form around chimneys on the ocean floor?
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.
Are chimneys usually on the first or second floor of 2-story homes?
Chimneys are usually on the second floor, not the first, of 2-story homes. Chimneys are typically found on the roof of a house.
What is the ocean-floor evidence of pole reversals?
in magma and lava, there are magnetic minerals, called magnetite. When new magma reaches the surface, these minerals start to align with the existing magnetic 'field' around the earth, starting at the North pole, and ending at the South pole. once the magma cools, these minerals remain at this inclination. These rocks often form on the sea floor, where 2 plates are moving apart. Every 10,000 years (or so), the magnetic poles switch. So it would start at the south pole, to the north pole. This means the inclination of the minerals would swap in new magma. So as the sea continues to spread, there is a striped appearance on the sea floor, where the are symmetrical bands of alternating magnetically inclined rocks. Hope that helps :)
What happens to the old ocean floor as the sea floor spreads?
As the sea floor spreads, the old ocean floor gets pushed out, which makes the plates move.
What is squares made of clay or stone for floor?
Square floor tiles.
Do minerals come from the ocean?
yes, the minerals come from rock chimneys on the ocean floor
How do minerals form around chimneys on the ocean floor?
menerals crystallize in the cold sea.

What is the difference between geysers and deep-sea vents that form chimneys?
Geysers are hot springs that intermittently erupt boiling water and steam from underground due to pressure build-up, often in volcanic areas. Deep-sea vents, also known as hydrothermal vents, are fissures on the ocean floor that release superheated water enriched with minerals. Chimneys at deep-sea vents are structures formed by minerals precipitating out of the vent fluids, whereas geysers do not typically form chimneys.
Rock chimneys on the ocean floor that spew black clouds of minerals are called?
Hydrothermal vents. These underwater geysers are formed by tectonic activity, releasing high-temperature fluid rich in minerals into the surrounding seawater. Hydrothermal vents support unique ecosystems found nowhere else on Earth.
What is sea floor spreading and what evidence do we have to prove it is happening?
Magnetic minerals on the ocean floor.
Lumps of minerals on the ocean floor are called?
Nodules...
The sediment on the ocean floor contains few or many minerals and metals?
It contains many Minerals and Metals.
How magnetic reversals provide evidence for sea floor spreading?
Because of the stripes at the sea floor which are magnetic minerals
What are some effective solutions for dealing with an uneven floor?
Some effective solutions for dealing with an uneven floor include using self-leveling compound, installing floor shims or leveling wedges, or hiring a professional to assess and repair the underlying cause of the unevenness.
Do they believe Santa Claus?
Santa is not real.If you stay up you will see your parents putting presents on the floor. A 300 pound man can not fit through small cracks or chimneys.
