Notes:
Vent Basics: Explain the process of a BLACK SMOKER
> The process of the black smoker is that the fluid carries dissolved from beneath the ocean floor and mixes with the sea water. Then the metals combine with sulfur to make small black particles which look like smoke.
Vent Boiling Points: Explain why the boiling point of water changes with depth in the ocean
> Depending on the depth of the ocean the boiling point of water changes because the deeper you go the more pressure there is
Vent Chemistry: Explain how the water chemistry changes in the hydrothermal vent system
> Hydrothermal fluids mix with cold rich oxygen sea-water
Vents Around the World: Where can hydrothermal vents be found? Give a few examples.
> Hydrothermal vents can be found around Juan de Fuca, Broken Spur, Mariana's Trough, Kairei, and Edmond. These vents are usually found where there is hot molten rock under the ocean floor
Vent Life: Name some of the critters found around hydrothermal vent systems.
> Animals found around the hydrothermal vents are octopus, tubeworms, dandelions, crabs, clams, and more.
Tubeworm Anatomy: Describe the tubeworm anatomy. Explain the symbiotic relationships that are found within tubeworms.
> The tubeworm anatomy shows and describes about the tubeworm's plume, muscle, cavity, and worm tube. The symbiotic relationships such as the plume's blood that transports oxygen, hydrogen sulfide, and carbon dioxide from the water to the bacteria in the cavity. The cavity is packed with bacteria, because it sends sugar by chemosynthesis to use as food.
Chemosynthesis: Explain the different between photosynthesis and chemosynthesis.
> The differences between photosynthesis and chemosynthesis is that, chemosynthesis gets their energy from chemicals in hydrothermal fluid.
Hot Topics on Vent Science: Pick ONE Hot Topic to report on.
> Bacteria comprises most life on the planet, even though we only discovered 5% of its diversity. We know even less about bacteria thriving at deep-sea hydrothermal vents. Bacteria at hydrothermal vents inhabit almost everything.
