May 1, 2014 - More than a mile beneath the ocean's surface, as dark clouds of mineral-rich water billow from seafloor hot springs called hydrothermal vents, unseen armies of viruses and bacteria wage war. May 2, 2014 - But this is the first time such a relationship has been seen in a chemosynthetic system, one in which the microbes rely solely on inorganic compounds, rather than sunshine, as their energy source. May 2, 2014 - More than a mile beneath the ocean's surface, as dark clouds of mineral-rich water billow from seafloor hot springs called hydrothermal vents, unseen armies of viruses and bacteria wage war. Given the combination of a likely very heterogeneous organic chemical mixture and a plethora of mineral types, there are many thousands of potential interactions worth exploring with respect to the self-organization of organic matter into living systems. Language: English Released: 2008. Feb 20, 2013 - The extraordinarily high pressure (of 500 x atmospheres) at the Beebe site, situated at nearly double the normal depth of most known hydrothermal systems, is important due to the physical changes that seawater undergoes at extremely high pressures and temperatures. Feb 13, 2009 - These minerals solidify as they cool, forming chimney-like structures. But this is the first time such a relationship has been seen in a chemosynthetic system, one in which the microbes rely solely on inorganic compounds, rather than sunshine, as their energy source. Like pirates boarding a "Viruses play a cardinal role in biogeochemical processes in ocean shallows," said David Garrison, a program director in the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences, which funded the research. This is of enormous importance for This question is not only important for the fundamental understanding of processes on our planet. Aug 27, 2012 - This process likely took place in the presence of water and mineral surfaces, for example in environmental niches such as drying beaches, small ponds, or deep in the ocean near submarine hydrothermal vents (e.g. Dr Dick and his colleagues collected water An unmanned submarine collected the samples at a depth of more than 1,800 m, near hydrothermal vents spewing mineral-rich seawater at temperatures over 260 degrees Celsius. It also has very practical implications. In the new Rona: The hydrothermal processes are basically the same at all spreading rates, but there is much more variation in the geologic settings at slow spreading ridges, which produces different types of hydrothermal systems. One question that has long and intensively been discussed in research is: Where and how deep does seawater penetrate into the seafloor to take up heat and minerals before it leaves the ocean floor at hydrothermal vents? Apr 28, 2014 - However, to date many details of these systems remain unexplained. Apr 7, 2013 - GO Hydrothermal Processes and Mineral Systems Author: Franco Pirajno Type: eBook. Instead of being The mineral deposits oxidise (like rusting) to a bright red colour, a process that greatly increases the concentration of valuable metals: a process known as 'supergene enrichment'. €�Black These biological communities depend upon chemical processes that result from the interaction of seawater and hot magma associated with underwater volcanoes. Dec 30, 2011 - The otherworldly vistas of vent ecosystems with chemosynthetic bacteria, animals new to science, billowing black smokers, and brightly colored polymetallic sulphide mineral deposits have changed our perception of the ocean's depths.
