How do you think the earth is formed and how is this related to deep sea vent communities

Geography
1 answer:
Sidana [21]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Scientists have long assumed that life on Earth originated in the oceans and the recent discovery of communities of microbes and animals that congregate around hot spring vents in the deep sea has buoyed speculation that the earliest life on our planet may have occurred in the depths of the ocean in the absence of sunlight.  Deep Sea hot spring vents are places on the seafloor where hot water exits the ocean crust and comes to the surface.  The hot water forms when seawater is heated in young ocean crust (usually close to spreading centers and areas of volcanic activity).  Associated with these vents are  living communities that exist thousands of meters beneath the surface of the sea, first discovered them in the late 1970's.  Up to that time it had always been assumed that life required sunlight, but we now know the communities that live near these deep sea vents can exist on thermal and chemical energy provided by the vent. Thus, there life does not necessarily need sunlight and photosynthesis to prosper.

In-s [12.5K]
The question here is what does "sink under the ocean" mean. Under the ocean is the ocean floor-which is part of the oceanic crust. So if two plates meet, one of them can sink below the other -in this sence, it is true that the other plate can partially sink under the ocean.

How have different empires shaped the eastern Mediterranean regio?
Ierofanga [76]
At its greatest extent, the Arab Empire controlled 3/4 of the Mediterranean region, the only other empire besides the Roman Empire to control most of the Mediterranean Sea. The Mediterranean Sea was important to the Roman Empire in that it was a vital trade link with other parts of the Empire, especially the Middle East and North Africa. As Rome grew, it needed the grains and other food from the Levant, and African animals were considered status symbols in the Roman royal courts.
