Marine Science Unit 2

Where does the energy from hydrothermal  vents come from?

• active volcanoes heat the water
• magma from the mantle bubbles to the surface
• water is converted to gas that rises through cracks in the ocean floor
• methane leaks from pockets in the crust

What process do the bacteria in vents use to produce energy?

• Photosynthesis
• Chemosynthesis
• Fermentation
• Cellular Respiration

What creature is this?

• Vent Crab
• Vent Shrimp
• Tube Worm
• Ventfish

Where does the energy from hydro-thermal  vents come from?

• Cold Seep
• Steam
• Trench Lakes
• Hot Springs

What color will the smoke be from a vent that has water that leached metals from the mantle and crust?

• Black
• White
• Orage
• Blue

What prevents water from boiling near the vents?

• Extreme Pressure
