Hydro+Vents

Theres places where the tempeture can reach up to 300 F.Therees cracks in the ocean floor that raise cold water to burning hot water that could really burn you.The hot water dissolves chemicals in rocks and flows back into openings in the ocean.The most common of vents are found deep as 20,000 feet or 240,000 inches.Animals that live down near these vents survive on debris or prey they come in contact. On 1977, off the coast of South America, scienctists found a large coomunity of animals living near vents like these.The scienctists were surprised that these animals could survive from the chemicals flowing through the vents.Some animals though were found dead from the bacteria from the vents present in there food and energy.These animals are really unique becasue they included Tube Worms(that can grow up to 10 feet), huge White Clams, and jelly fish-like animals called siphonophores.
