New seafloor forms in places where magma is forced upward toward the surface at a mid-ocean ridge and cools to form volcanic rock. The hydrothermal vents spew into the cold sea the super-heated ...

The three new hydrothermal vent fields were found as scientists were mapping an area approximately 65 square miles along the volatile Mid-Atlantic Ridge, according to the Schmidt Ocean Institute.

Seafloor Volcanoes and Hydrothermal Vents Mid-ocean ridges and spreading zones are home to hydrothermal vents. Hydrothermal vents in the ocean are analogous to geysers and hot springs on continents ...
