Define an isothermal change.
Hydrothermal vent areas have hydrothermal chimneys, from which hot, mineral-rich water comes out.
(This hot water often looks like black smoke, but it's not really smoke, it just has a lot of dark, microscopic mineral grains in it.)
Where does this hot water come from?
a Ice underneat the seafloor gets melted by volcanic activity, and this extra water comes out of the vents.
b It comes directly from the Earth's core, since our core is made of hot, high-pressure water.
c It is seawater that went down through cracks, got heated by magma, and rises up to emerge from the seafloor.
d Some of the minerals in the Earth's mantle break down and release large volumes of water.
Explain the facts linking human activity to global warming.
What are the likely outcomes?
