Hydrothermal vents pump super heated salt water into the ocean that is filled with various minerals. Because of this, there is a
pychu [463]
This is absolutely false.
There is a wide diversity of life teaming around hydrothermal vents. These communities include primary producer organisms, but instead of obtaining energy from the sun, these bacteria use a process called chemosynthesis to convert minerals and other chemicals in the water into energy. These bacteria support a wide range of other animal species, including giant tube worms, deep sea mussels, serpulid or “feather duster” worms, and vent crabs, the apex predator of the vent community.

Which evidence is provided by fossil record
GalinKa [24]

The fossil record

This supports Darwin's theory of evolution, which states that simple life forms gradually evolved into more complex ones. Evidence for early forms of life comes from fossils. By studying fossils, scientists can learn how much (or how little) organisms have changed as life developed on Earth.There are gaps in the fossil record because many early forms of life were soft-bodied, which means that they have left few traces behind. What traces there were may have been destroyed by geological activity. This is why scientists cannot be certain about how life began.

Fossils provide a snap shot of the past and allow us to study how much or how little organisms have changed as life developed on Earth.
