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.
Do deep ocean currents and surface currents mix?
Deep ocean currents and surface currents do interact and influence each other. While they flow at different depths and have different driving factors (wind for surface currents and density for deep currents), they are connected through the global ocean circulation system.

How was the geography of the indus river valley?
Heavy rains swell the Indus River during the monsoon season from June to September. Because this happens soon after the winter snows melt, floods can occur at this time of year.

Before it pours into the Arabian Sea, the Indus creates a wide delta of swamps, streams, and extensive mangroves.

What are flow natural resources?
Flow natural resources are renewable resources that are abundant and can be replenished naturally over time, such as sunlight, wind, and water.
