Marine Earth

Order the steps to a hydrothermal vent:

• The water is superheated by magma

• Seawater seeps into cracks in the crust

• The water cools rapidly, going from over 200C to 2C

• The plume spreads out and can be detected from a great distance

• The water moves out under high pressure, leeching out minerals
