    The process of chemosynthesis is similar to photosynthesis. Both can be defined as the creation of organic matter from the fixation of inorganic carbon using energy. But what differs is the source of that energy. In parts of the deep sea, primary production is fuelled by chemical energy, rather than energy from the sun. But this can only take place at certain sea-floor environments where the required chemicals are released into the water. The two main examples of such environments are hydrothermal vents, and cold seeps. The former were only discovered in 1977 when scientists were exploring an oceanic spreading ridge near the Galapagos Islands. What they discovered was a hidden world that revolutionised our understanding of how and where life on Earth can exist. Since then, hundreds more vent field have been discovered, often at depths of 2km or more, along Earth’s convergent plate boundaries and at sea-floor spreading regions where the oceanic crust is moving apart.

    Geologist here, I absolutely love this channel and its really great footage.
    One mistake I'd point out tho is that hydrothermal vents are not found near convergent plate boundaries, they're found in divergent plate boundaries.
    See : the divergence is caused by crustal thinning near Medio oceanic ridges, this cause a very high geothermal gradient that allow hot fluids to form in the oceanic crust.
    Convergent plate boundaries, aka subduction zones and collision zones are generally lower geothermal gradient

    • @NaturalWorldFacts
      @NaturalWorldFacts  Před 2 lety +98

      Thanks for the information and I truly appreciate the attention to detail and correction, but according to my sources and university lecturer, vents are able form at both - they of course mainly form at divergent plates, but I mentioned ‘as well as convergent’ in the video as there have been a number of isolated vent systems found at convergent plate regions. See below:
      oceanservice.noaa.gov/facts/vents.html
      ‘Hydrothermal vents are the result of seawater percolating down through fissures in the ocean crust in the vicinity of spreading centers or subduction zones (places on Earth where two tectonic plates move away or towards one another).’

My main areas of geological interest are the seafloor, abyssal plains, spreading ridges, and trenches. In line with that, my main areas of biological interest are deep sea life, especially that at the hydrothermal vents, trenches, and
      on the abyssal plains.

That's actually why I'm writing this essay, it's practice for one of my ecology exams! If you want to know more about it... well basically, there are different interpretations for why diversity peaks in the tropics and tapers towards the poles. There's a big divide between those who think that increased exposure to sunlight (in the tropics) is beneficial to historical/long-term evolution, or whether it's beneficial to short-term, ecological factors relating to resource use... Or who knows, maybe both! And yeah, the marine ecosystems don't really obey this pattern, because as I'm sure you know from all the videos you've been making, marine ecosystems don't depend on energy from solar radiation as absolutely as terrestrial ecosystems (hydrothermal vents, methane seeps...)

Hydrothermal vents are probably the topic that got me excited for the deep in the first place when I was younger, maybe aside from the bioluminescence. It's lovely to learn something new about the topic. Until recently, I didn't know there were white smokers, until I watched another of your videos. Thanks a lot for making these. I'm very excited for the cold seeps now. :)

    When i was a wee boy, I watched many documentaries and read many books about marine life.

      Max vent fluid temp: 400C (752F)
      Chimey height: over 50m (180ft)
      Across a distance of around 10cm (3.9in), temperatures drop from over 300C (572F) to just 2C (35.6F)
      Microbes tolerate fluids as hot as 122C (251.6F)
      Pompeii worm tubes reach 80C (176F)

Definitely looking forward to the next in this series!

    A naturalist from the Ecuador & Galapagos. Vents could occurring pretty much everywhere in deep ocean floor though they probably would more in spreading plates areas but not only there. Probably most know now that Panama and the Galapagos was recently found to be connected by an ocean floor vent or sort of a lava tunnel ...

    I love all of your ocean-related videos but I find I find hydrothermal vents especially interesting. There is just something...primal and dynamic about them. I also find the theory that life originated at hydrothermal vents fascinating. And some of them look like pieces of abstract art. BBC's "Blue Planet II" episode "The Deep" shows hydrothermal vents with reflective properties.
    If you haven't already done so, I hope you will do videos on cold seeps and whale falls. The deep sea and seafloor environments are incredible.
