Hydrothermal Vents

1. Cold seawater sinks down through the crust.

2. O2 and K are removed from the seawater.

3. Ca, SO4, and Mg are removed from the fluid.

4. Na, Ca, and K from the crust enter the fluid.

5. Highest temperatures (350-400 oC), Cu, Zn, Fe, and H2S from the crust dissolve in the fluids.

6. Hot & acidic fluids with dissolved metals rise up through crust.

7. The hydrothermal fluids mix with cold, O2-rich seawater. Metals and sulfur combine to form metal-sulfide minerals: MnO2, FeO(OH), …

Vent biological communities

• BACTERIA (Bacteria and Archea)

• 400 morphological invertebrate species – New species every 2 weeks during 25 years!

• Evolutionary Origin – Derived from surrounding Deep Sea

– Derived from Shallow Water species

– Many evolutionary radiations at species level

– Many vent taxa originated at other organically enriched environments (cold seeps and whale bones)

• Vents as stable refugia from Global extinctions
