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.
What else can I help you with?
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.

Why do volcanoes under water eventually become islands?
When a volcano erupts, it releases hot melted rock called magma, which then solidifies into solid rock. When enough of this rock has been released underwater, the result is an island.
What is the underwater mountain of volcanic material?
Magma is the underwater mountain of volcanic material. The underwater mountain of volcanic material is usually in molten rock.
What is underwater mountain of volcanic material?
Magma is the underwater mountain of volcanic material. The underwater mountain of volcanic material is usually in molten rock.
What kind of rock forms when lava cools in the ocean?
When lava cools in the ocean, it forms a type of rock called pillow basalt. This distinctive rock gets its name from its pillow-like shape that results from the rapid cooling of lava in water. Pillow basalt is commonly found in areas where underwater volcanic eruptions occur.
Sandstone is a sedimentary rock because it is what?
