In 1993, already more than 100 gastropod species were known to occur in hydrothermal vents. [33] Over 300 new species have been discovered at hydrothermal vents, [34] many of them "sister species" to others found in geographically separated vent areas.
7.1 Lost City hydrothermal vent ... such as the occurrence in Texas, ... Since publication of the prognostic map in 1986 six giant oil/gas fields were discovered ...
hydrothermal vent. Hydrothermal vents were discovered in 1977 by scientists from Scripps Institution of Oceanography. So far, the discovered hydrothermal vents are all located at the boundaries of plates: East Pacific, California, Mid-Atlantic ridge, China and Japan.
A deep-diving robot that chiseled into the rocky Pacific seabed at a spot where two of the immense plates comprising Earth's outer shell meet has unearthed a previously unknown realm of animal ...
Samples from the Endeavour Hydrothermal Vents off the southwest coast of British Columbia showed that active venting black smokers had viral abundances from 1.45×10 5 to 9.90×10 7 per mL, with a drop-off in abundance found in the hydrothermal-vent plume (3.5×10 6 per mL) and outside the venting system (2.94×10 6 per mL).
In a series of eight dives conducted by Pisces IV, the scientists discovered a vibrant hydrothermal vent community on the leading edge of a 300 m (984 ft) fissure within the caldera. Vent temperatures were measured around 35 °C (95 °F), approximately 30 °C (54 °F) hotter than the surrounding environment. [16]
Cavosie is curious to determine whether hydrothermal systems like hot springs were prevalent when magma was helping form the red planet’s crust between 4.48 billion and 4.43 billion years ago or ...
They were able to take an accurate temperature reading of the active vent (the previous dive's thermometer had melted) and recorded a temperature of 350 °C (623 K; 662 °F). [11] They continued searching for more vents along the East Pacific Rise between 1980 and 1982. [citation needed]
