The process of chemosynthesis is similar to photosynthesis. Both can be defined as the creation of organic matter from the fixation of inorganic carbon using energy. But what differs is the source of that energy. In parts of the deep sea, primary production is fuelled by chemical energy, rather than energy from the sun. But this can only take place at certain sea-floor environments where the required chemicals are released into the water. The two main examples of such environments are hydrothermal vents, and cold seeps. The former were only discovered in 1977 when scientists were exploring an oceanic spreading ridge near the Galapagos Islands. What they discovered was a hidden world that revolutionised our understanding of how and where life on Earth can exist. Since then, hundreds more vent field have been discovered, often at depths of 2km or more, along Earth’s convergent plate boundaries and at sea-floor spreading regions where the oceanic crust is moving apart.

Geologist here, I absolutely love this channel and its really great footage. One mistake I'd point out tho is that hydrothermal vents are not found near convergent plate boundaries, they're found in divergent plate boundaries. See : the divergence is caused by crustal thinning near Medio oceanic ridges, this cause a very high geothermal gradient that allow hot fluids to form in the oceanic crust. Convergent plate boundaries, aka subduction zones and collision zones are generally lower geothermal gradient

@NaturalWorldFacts 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the information and I truly appreciate the attention to detail and correction, but according to my sources and university lecturer, vents are able form at both - they of course mainly form at divergent plates, but I mentioned ‘as well as convergent’ in the video as there have been a number of isolated vent systems found at convergent plate regions. See below: oceanservice.noaa.gov/facts/vents.html ‘Hydrothermal vents are the result of seawater percolating down through fissures in the ocean crust in the vicinity of spreading centers or subduction zones (places on Earth where two tectonic plates move away or towards one another).’

That would certainly make sense! And it’s something I’d love to delve into more to understand how the geological origins and resulting chemistry of vents at these two regions differ - but you’re absolutely right that MOST vents form at sea-floor spreading regions :D

Marine biology is my second field of interest. The abundance of sea life is absolutely mind-blowing, at least to me. My main areas of geological interest are the seafloor, abyssal plains, spreading ridges, and trenches. In line with that, my main areas of biological interest are deep sea life, especially that at the hydrothermal vents, trenches, and on the abyssal plains. I wish you much luck in your pursuit of your dream of being a marine biologist. It's a wonderful profession and there is so much left to learn!

@@NaturalWorldFacts It's great to hear from you! Trust me, I get why uni is stressful these days.. I guess you've got exams coming up too? That's actually why I'm writing this essay, it's practice for one of my ecology exams! If you want to know more about it... well basically, there are different interpretations for why diversity peaks in the tropics and tapers towards the poles. There's a big divide between those who think that increased exposure to sunlight (in the tropics) is beneficial to historical/long-term evolution, or whether it's beneficial to short-term, ecological factors relating to resource use... Or who knows, maybe both! And yeah, the marine ecosystems don't really obey this pattern, because as I'm sure you know from all the videos you've been making, marine ecosystems don't depend on energy from solar radiation as absolutely as terrestrial ecosystems (hydrothermal vents, methane seeps...) Anyway long story short, that's my essay :) I'll make sure to catch up your other documentary vids in between exams!

One should not be afraid of evolution, to find the truth about it, and how it works, because it holds such wonders, and how beautifully and amazingly complex our life truly is. It shows how unique, every being on this world is, because some may be similar, but so very different, which is beautiful in my eyes.

Thank you for having the conversions on the screen. Never mind, it was short-lived.

I’ll try do it more consistently in future!! For reference, here are all measurements from this video converted :) Typical vent depth: 2km (6,561ft) Max vent fluid temp: 400C (752F) Chimey height: over 50m (180ft) Across a distance of around 10cm (3.9in), temperatures drop from over 300C (572F) to just 2C (35.6F) Microbes tolerate fluids as hot as 122C (251.6F) Pompeii worm tubes reach 80C (176F) Hope this helps!

Along with my other comments on your videos it's honestly mind blowing how much super high quality footage we have of deep sea ecosystems. I need to find a way to make enough money to fund research for stuff like this

I love learning about the deep sea! Hydrothermal Vents are probably some of my favorite forms of life. It's fascinating to think that this is where life on Earth started, and that is why NASA searches for oceans or other sources of water on other planets.

Love the videos and the narration and the knowledge of deep sea life once I get my sub designed and built I would love for the team of natural world facts to come and get the footage of my dive to the challenger deep in the Mariana trench.

When i was a wee boy, I watched many documentaries and read many books about marine life. Although this interest mostly died out in my teen years, it's still exciting to relive these moments and now I get to learn new things rather than look at outdated information from those same books printed more than 8 years ago

crazy I just thought about watching a video about hydrothermal vents cause I saw a post about that snail with the iron shell that lives there and then there's a new video on hydrothermal vents the literal next day.
