What else can I help you with?
Mineral-rich water heated by newly formed oceanic crust escapes through cracks in the ocean floor called?
Th water escapes through cracks in the ocean floor called hydrothermal vents.
Mineral rich water heated by newly formed oceanic crust escapes through cracks in the ocean floor called?
Hydrothermal vents. These vents are locations where seawater penetrates the ocean crust, becomes heated by magma below the surface, and then rises back up through the vents, carrying minerals and nutrients. They support unique ecosystems teeming with specialized biological communities.
Is the location where lava pours out of cracks in the ocean floor?
The mid-ocean-ridge.
An area by which heated ocean water rises through cracks in the ocean floor is?
a hydrothermal vent
What is a deep crack in the ocean floor?
huge cracks in the ocean floor are called trenches.
What is the location where lava pours out of cracks in the ocean floor?
The location where lava pours out of cracks in the ocean floor is known as a mid-ocean ridge or a spreading center. This is where tectonic plates move apart, allowing magma to rise from the mantle and create new oceanic crust.
What is the effect of magma pushing up through cracks in the ocean floor?
push and a pull
What happens at hydrothermal vents?
Seawater seeps into the ocean floor through cracks in the crust
What are two pieces evidence for cracks in the ocean floor?
molten material and drilling samples
What are types of evidence that the sea floor is expanding?
Rocks have a north and south pole. The sea floor was discovered to have different magnetic poles on cracks in the ocean floor.
What is the source energy of chemosynthesis?
chemical compounds such as sulfides that come from cracks in the ocean floor.
How do volcanos form along ocean ridges?
Along rift valleys, lava pours out of cracks in the ocean floor, gradually building new mountains.
