  1. #Hydrothermal #Vents are deep-sea geysers that release superheated, mineral-rich water, primarily located near mid-ocean ridges, volcanic zones, and tectonic plate boundaries.

  2. 💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🌡️🌋 #Yellowstone spans roughly 24 km (15 mi) of #boardwalks around its scalding #hydrothermal features, all built by hand.

    Park geologists use thermal #cameras to map the hottest zones and route around them, while botanists flag rare #plants and archaeologists check for buried #artifacts before any path is laid. The process keeps millions of visitors safe without disturbing the area’s fragile #ecosystem or #history.

  4. @tangledwing An amazing creature! 🌊 🌋 🐌
    Big-❤️ (physically), turns toxic chemicals into energy, & builds its own plated armour out of metal:

    A wondrous being, threatened by deep-sea mining 😡

    Researchers reveal unexpected processes for high #hydrogen production in #hydrothermal systems. Read more about it ➡️ marum.de/en/submarine-pressure

  6. A new study led by King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) Professor Alexandre Rosado has revealed an unusual #microbial world in the Hatiba Mons #hydrothermal vent fields of the central Red Sea

  7. #Enceladus’ subsurface ocean 🌊 has #hydrothermal vents on its seafloor. Enceladus’ ocean contains molecular hydrogen — which #NASA has called “candy for microbes” 🦠 — as well as other building blocks for life, Iike carbon dioxide and methane. It’s pretty similar to the conditions that allowed ocean life to propagate on early Earth. planetary.org/articles/where-a

    #SpaceWater #SETI

  8. Earlier we saw a map of hydrothermal sites around Tharsis suggested by James Dohm. The combination of warmth and water seemed promising in the search for life (or past life). Here are more of them, suggested in 2 studies in 2005 and 2007. These are not tied to a specific mission but could guide site selection. The 'crater sites' combined impact-generated heat with signs of water and included Gale and Gusev craters (crater sites A and B).

    Now... back to human missions.

  9. Life on Mars has always been a draw, so where should we look? 25 years ago a popular idea was hydrothermal sites. As the name suggests, they combine heat and water, so obvious candidates would be volcanic areas with evidence of water. James Dohm (then at U. Arizona) mapped two sets of them, shown on this map. 1998 sites were in Thaumasia where many channels indicate water. Sites in 2000 were more widely distributed around Tharsis. None of these have been visited yet.

  10. Life recovered rapidly at site of dino-killing asteroid. A hydrothermal system may have helped

    "the crater it left behind in the #GulfOfMexico was a literal hotbed for life, enriching the overlying #ocean for at least 700,000 years... a #hydrothermal system created by the #asteroid impact may have helped marine life flourish at the impact site by generating and circulating nutrients in the crater environment."

  11. Zircon trace element evidence for early hydrothermal activity on #Mars: science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv -> Martian #Meteorite Points to Ancient #Hydrothermal Activity: eos.org/articles/martian-meteo - the Red Planet had water, in the form of a hydrothermal system, 4.45 billion years ago, new analyses of a Martian meteorite suggest.

  12. New #hydrothermal field in the #Arctic has intense geological activity

    Discovery of the first hydrothermal field along the 500-km-long Knipovich Ridge offshore #Svalbard (the Jøtul field) nature.com/articles/s41598-024

    The Jøtul Field’s intense #methane concentrations suggest an intense interaction between magma and oceanic sediments.

  13. Perseverance Rover to Begin Long Climb Up Martian Crater Rim

    Priority regions to study at the top of the crater are nicknamed “Witch Hazel Hill” and “Pico Turquino”, which contains ancient fractures that may have been caused by past hydrothermal activity.
