Also in the Luzon rain forests.
They are commonly found near volcanically active places, areas where tectonic plates are moving apart at mid-ocean ridges, ocean basins, and hotspots. [1] The dispersal of hydrothermal fluids throughout the global ocean at active vent sites creates hydrothermal plumes.
