EXTRA EXTRA!! IS THERE LIFE AT THE MID-OCEAN RIDGES??

A hydrothermal vent found near Antarctica. (source) 

MID-OCEAN RIDGES are located all across the Earth's crust, but majority of them are found deep in the ocean. They are the points where HOT LAVA  is escaping from the mantle, and new crust is slowly being formed. But, the question is, can life be found at these extremely hot, dark points in the earth's oceans?? 

Watch all or some of this TED TALK, and then answer the following questions in the form of a paragraph: 

1. What is a hydrothermal vent and where are they found? 

2. What marine species can be found at the mid-ocean ridges? 

3. Describe the surface of the bottom of earth's oceans. 

share your paragraph with me anytime before the end of the trimester: emily.elpuente@gmail.com
