Answer:

Option (C)

Explanation:

The hydrothermal vents are the narrow cracks or passage at the ocean floor through which the hot water comes out. The water when percolates beneath the ocean floor through the cracks, then it gets heated up reacting with the hot molten magma and again comes out through those narrow openings. These narrow openings through which the liquid or a gas is allowed to pass is known as the hydrothermal vents.  

They are commonly found near the volcanoes and the mid oceanic ridge. It plays an important role in controlling the ocean water chemistry.

Hence, the correct answer is option (C).

neonofarm [45]

Answer:

Most sedimentary rocks are formed in level layers. Therefore, the occurrence of tilted rock layers is evidence of mountain building. ... Tilting can also result when rocks are pushed upward, or uplifted. In some areas of the world, rock layers are so severely tilted that they may be bottom side up. Layered rocks form when particles settle from water or air. Steno's Law of Original Horizontality states that most sediments, when originally formed, were laid down horizontally. ... Rock layers are also called strata (the plural form of the Latin word stratum), and stratigraphy is the science of strata.
