Assignment #8 Making an unknown sea floor sounding map. Assignment #7 hydrothermal vents Hydrothermal vents are located in the deepest parts of the oceans. At these unique vents water seeps through the Earth's crust and hits the semi-melted molten of the asthenoshpere which creates random eruptions of boiling hot water and toxic smoke that enter the ocean water. At these unusual locations are mysterious and interesting creatures that live off the energy of the heat instead of energy from light. These animals are immuned to the toxins of the vent and surprisingly have a very stable ecosystem. There is still alot unknown about these deep and secret places, but as scientists research them, they are finding out that it is possible that humans have evolved millions of yers ago from the mysterious life of the deep.

 The lab required us to use different salinity's of water each dyed a different color. With this colored water we used a graduated cylinder and a medicine dropper to mix them and observe what happens in each scenario. The green water was the very salty water, the red water was the slighty salty water and the blue water was the tap water. During the lab we found that the green water had more density and moved toward the bottom of the graduated, the red was more dense then the blue tap water but less dense then the green salt water so that stayed in the middle and The fresh water stayed on the top
