The Ecology of Deep-Sea Hydrothermal Vents /

The Ecology of Deep-Sea Hydrothermal Vents / / Cindy Lee Van Dover.

Teeming with weird and wonderful life--giant clams and mussels, tubeworms, "eyeless" shrimp, and bacteria that survive on sulfur--deep-sea hot-water springs are found along rifts where sea-floor spreading occurs. The theory of plate tectonics predicted the existence of these hydrothermal v...
