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).

sergeinik [125]

Answer:

The professor Bonefinder has made a mistake.

Explanation:

I't is true the Hominoid had a long snout, a large orbits that are partially enclosed, but they have no tail. This point is really critical because the morphology of an species is really important. The taxonomists use the information that morphology gave for many years to identify species, nowadays with molecular techniques some of those species are pulled apart, but the important matter is that hominoids had no tail.

So the professor Bonefinder analysis is incorrect because the hominoids have no tail.
