1.) Explain why the boiling point of water changes with depth in the ocean.
The more hot the liquid is, the less dense it is because hot water is less dense than liquid.
2.) Explain how the water chemistry changes in the hydrothermal vent system.
Seawater seeps down into the ocean crust and is heated by the magma, it undergoes lots of chemical reactions.
3.) Where can hydrothermal vents be found? Give a few examples.
Along the Mid-Ocean Ridge.
4.) Name some of the critters found around hydrothermal vent systems
Octopus, Tube Worms, Dandelion, Shrimp, Crabs, Microbes, Mussels, and Clams
