Hydrothermal Vent

     
   
Now lets get down to business! You remember way back when we learned about Physical properties...Well, now it's time to dust off that piece of knowledge and use it. To scientifically describe hydrothermal vent 'smoke'
 

we need to understand the physical properties near hydrothermal vents. What is it like inside the vent? How do the physical properties change as you move away from the vent?

What about chemical properties? What atoms, ions, or molecules make up the 'smoke'? What reactions are taking place?
