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.
Do minerals form from hot-water solutions at chimneys on the ocean floor?
The hot water solution cools and evaporates, leaving behind the mineral.
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 :)

How do you sew a dress with an even hem?
To hem a dress with the hem the same distance from the floor all around the hem, the person to wear the dress should put it on with the shoes she would most likely wear with the dress. After deciding the hem length, a friend, using a straight ruler or yard stick would then hold the ruler, end on floor, and at what ever height the wearer wants, pin the dress completely around at the desired hem length. The skirt fabric would then be trimmed the same length from the pins to the edge of the fabric, Then general hemming directions would be followed. Only by measuring from the floor UP, can the dress hang the same distance from the floor all around.
How do minerals form around chimneys on the ocean floor?
menerals crystallize in the cold sea.
Do minerals come from the ocean?
yes, the minerals come from rock chimneys on the ocean floor
Rock chimneys on the ocean floor that spew black clouds of minerals are called?
black smokers
How are roof cave and floor cave deposits similar?
They are formed by the deposit of minerals. They are left behind by evaporation.

What is a stone column rising from the floor of a cave called?
A stone column rising from the floor of a cave is called a stalagmite. It forms over thousands of years as mineral-rich water drips from the ceiling and deposits minerals on the cave floor, gradually building up into a column shape.
A limestone deposit rising from the floor in a cave?
Mineral deposits which develop upwards from a cave floor are known as stagmites. Deposits which form from the ceiling are stalactites.
Who should own the minerals on the Ocean floor?
The area around the a country is owned by that country. It is their area to fish in so they own the minerals. The minerals in the middle of the ocean with no counties there are owned by whoever gets there first.
Deposits that build up from the floor of a cave?
Stalagmites
