Hydrothermal Vents

Uploaded by MBARIvideo on Jan 14, 2010
Hydrothermal vents found on the East Pacific Rise continuously spew hot, mineral-rich water that helps support a diverse community of organisms, including the giant tube worm, Riftia pachyptila. These tube worms have a symbiotic relationship with bacteria that obtain nutrition from the vent fluids.

Am I the only one who thinks these creatures are cute?

Reminds me of those things that killed lumpy in King Kong :(

Can anyone name the six biogeographic provinces of hydrothermal vent communities?

In the Life 2009 documentary they said it is 400 degrees celcius, that's pretty hot! And it's wonderful to imagine that some creatures live in an environment of that temperature, what kind of biological mechanisms they have to have to survive. Nature sure is awesome :)
