Definition: HYDROTHERMAL |
HYDROTHERMALAdjective1. Of or pertaining to hot water; -- used esp. with reference to the action of heated waters in dissolving, redepositing, and otherwise producing mineral changes within the crust of the globe. |
Note: Hydrothermal \Hy`dro*ther"mal\, adjective. [Hydro-, thermal.]. (Websters 1913) |
| Domain | Definitions |
Geological | Pertains to hot water or the action of heated water, often considered heated by magma or in association with magma. (Gardner, et.al., 1995). (references) |
Mining | Of or relating to hot water - used esp. of the formation of metamorphism of minerals by the action of hot solutions rising up through the earth's crust from a cooling magma. Source: European Union. (references) |
| Of or pertaining to hot water, to the action of hot water, or to the products of this action, such as a mineral deposit precipitated from a hot aqueous solution, with or without demonstrable association with igneous processes; also, said of the solution itself. Hydrothermal is generally used for any hot water but has been restricted by some to water ofmagmatic origin. (references) | |

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
The term includes both the circulation of the well known, high temperature vent waters near the ridge crests, and the much lower temperature, diffuse flow of water through sediments and buried basalts further from the ridge crests. The former circulation type is sometimes termed "active", and the later "passive". In both cases the principle is the same: cold dense seawater sinks into the seafloor and is heated at depth whereupon it rises back to the seafloor due to its lesser density. The heat source for the active vents is the newly formed basalt, and, for the highest temperature vents, the underlying magma chamber. The heat source for the passive vents is the still-cooling older basalts. Heat flow studies of the seafloor suggest that basalts within the oceanic crust take millions of years to completely cool as they continue to support passive hydrothermal circulation systems.
Hydrothermal vents are locations on the seafloor where hydrothermal fluids mix into the overlying ocean. Perhaps the best known vent forms are chimneys.
