Hydrothermal+vents+3

This text book page was about hydrothermal vents. A hydrothermal vent can come out of the earth at 300 degree ferinhite. Some animals live down there. These animals feed off of smaller creatures that live down there. Hydrothermal vents are most common at the depths of 20,000 feet. My thoughts were, one how do animals survive down there when it is deadly to most organisms? I think this was cool to read about because I never knew what hydrothermal vents were. Another thought was wouldn't hydrothermal vents burn the sea creatures? I can't believe how animals survive down there. That's what I read and thought about hydrothermal vents.
