==You might be thinking that as you go deeper in the ocean, the colder the temperature gets. I thought that too.... but...it's not! In fact, water can be about 300 degrees down in the bottom of the ocean!( Although, that is only in some parts of the ocean). That's hotter than boiling!(212 degrees) This happens when water seeps down into the cracks, and then gets heated by very hot rocks. The hot water dissolves the chemicals in the rocks, which are very deadly.==

==Did you know that siphonophores(creatures such as jellyfish,clams, and tube worms) live in the boiling water??? They use the harmful chemicals as a source of food and energy! Scientists are very surprised at how those creatures can live down there in that water.==

==I think that living in that boiling,hot water is amazing!!! I think it is also very cool that the creatures that live down there can survive on the deadly chemicals as food and energy. I wonder why the creatures don't get dissolved in the water because they are so SMALL!!! :-D==
