Hydrothermal+vents+23

Hydrothermal vents  Did you know that there are places underwater where the water temprature is 300 degrees farenheight? Since there are cracks in the ocean floor, the water seeps through them and hot rocks make the water very hot. When that hot water flows back to the ocean, the water around it gets warmer and warmer until all the water around it is very hot. The chemicals flowing from the vents would kill most organisms, but there are still some species of animals that can live there. That is why hydrothermal vents are so cool. My thoughts and opinions  I can't believe how it can get more than 300 degrees farenheight. Its so awesome that organisms actually live there. Humans would burn up there, its so hot. The water starts at 34-37 degrees and changes to 300 degrees. That just shows you how much the temprature changes. Its about as hot as a oven!!!! There are even 10 foot tube worms there!! How they live is just amazing. I wish one day humans could go there. Thats all my thoughts and opinions.
