Great and interesting video, thanks.

The mining industry must not get their hands on these fragile ecosystems. Humans have already disturbed and ruined so many natural habitats. The hydrothermal vents need to be protected!

Amen brother!

thanks, this is what I needed for my economic geology exam :)

Incredible video. I am fully agree with him that first creatures must have lived on chemical components.

good video, shrimps looking tasty lol

I would just like to say to all the comments stating that this is abhorrent and greedy and we shouldn't destroy these beautiful environments: while I agree that humans often don't give a care about other lifeforms and that we shouldn't immediately go down and mine these environments; as a Marine Science student it is absolutely necessary for there to be a plausible economic outcome if we want to be able to explore these environments. Science, and scientific equipment, is neither free nor cheap, and can therefore only take place if appropriate funding is in place. So much so is this the case that the only research vessel which has *ever* been used to allow humans to see these environments in person - a submersible called Alvin - was first produced in 1964 and *no duplicate has been made since because it is so costly*. This funding ordinarily comes from either businesses or governmental bodies, neither of which are going to fund anything if there is no profit of any kind. Therefore, if we want to continue research on these unique habitats, we must be willing to at least examine the possibility of them being use as a resource. On the topic of mining, many don't realize just how barren the sea floor is. With the correct equipment, mining of extinct (and therefore environmentally barren) hydrothermal vents would be possible with minimal disturbance of the surrounding seafloor. it is not a perfect scenario and never will be, but it isn't as destructive as many believe. Small samples of the organisms that live in these environments (which realistically do not affect the ecosystem by being taken) could also be used to produce new medicines and provide greener methods of many industrial processes (using biotechnological methods instead of harsh chemicals). Long story short, science is unfortunately, like everything else in the human world, driven by money, and exploitation of these environments need not have the devastating environmental effects that most people who have only read news articles online believe.

Al Jarvis In other words science is not inquiry but a tool of industry. This, if no profit can be derived, no study is to be conducted. Such notions turn Cartesian critical inquiry upside down and are strained assertions by a person of letter as and science. The university exists to further our understanding of the physical and social realms. Our research institutions If higher education were yoked as mercenaries, they would become intellectually impoverished conducting study only into petrochemicals, while being illiterate in all other discrete subjects. Industry can, should, and does fund its own study for its pecuniary ends.

My 90 year old grade 5 educated grandmother could tell anyone of you University book worms, that Not enough good comes from all the developers who know how to manipulate, and woo their audience's ! Has their been an oil company or mine that was cleaned up once they raped the land?

Love the Tim Hortons mug! :D

So interesting how deep smokers produse and change metal oxide on temperature level and smoke iron.zink in micro structural granulate hidrothermal clastre similar vulcano erupcion clastre with ash.Under water is this snowing from metal.

im going ti write a master degree on subsea mining next spring

For school: The minerals are: zinc, iron, silver, and gold Water temp: 400 degrees Explanation at 1:42

weird flex but ok

How much.ill buy.

Black is the origin of everything

I'll buy

Hidrothermal metal oxide micro snowing is food for cemosintesic deep ocean organism whit this metal oxide growing skeleton many of them like rifthia and other.

good work; can i use some of your work for a video of mine

OMG! There is water at the bottom of the ocean! David Byrnes.

Bacteria + metal mikro snow = cemical biostructurefor growig kemosintezic organism.

This reminds me of Jeremiah 5:20-22 20 “Announce this to the descendants of Jacob and proclaim it in Judah: 21 Hear this, you foolish and senseless people, who have eyes but do not see, who have ears but do not hear: 22 Should you not fear me?” declares the Lord. “Should you not tremble in my presence? I made the sand a boundary for the sea, an everlasting barrier it cannot cross. The waves may roll, but they cannot prevail; they may roar, but they cannot cross it. En español le entiendo mas.

This would probably a very interesting video if the audio wasn't so odd.

wow there might be a few flakes of gold down there

Baby volcanos

There's gold all over the bottom of the ocean
