hot springs (geothermal vents) should be found at the active spreading centers along the mid-oceanic ridges, where magma, at temperatures over 1,000 °C, presumably was being erupted to form new oceanic crust. More exciting, because it was totally unexpected, was the discovery of abundant and unusual sea life -- giant tube worms, huge clams, and mussels -- that thrived around the hot springs.

As solar energy interacts with carbon dioxide, water vapor, and several other gases in the troposphere, it warms the troposphere

Veronika [31]

As solar energy interacts with carbon dioxide, water vapor, and several other gases in the troposphere, it warms the troposphere process known as the Green house effect.

Troposphere is the lower most part of the earth's atmosphere comprises of Nitrogen, Oxygen, Argon, Carbon dioxide and Water vapour.
Carbondioxide, water vapour and other gases like methane are concentrated highly in the Trophosphere due to some human activities (Industrial revolution).
Such excess Green house gases forms a shield layer which retains the heat by trapping the long wave radiation of solar energy in troposphere. As a result, global warming and abnormal weather conditions occurs in the planet.
