Talk:Hydrothermal vent

message: You can take these off the to-do list because they are not hydrothermal in nature. Cold seeps are formational brines which are leaking ut into the ocean. Rolinator 08:35, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Cold seeps 

message: "Submarine hydrothermal vents (black smokers) were discovered along the East Pacific Rise in 1977."  This statement as it stands is incorrect.  Hydrothermal vents were discovered at the Galápagos Rift, which is separate from the East Pacific Rise, in 1977 and there were no black smokers there at the time, only diffuse flow vents.
Actually, http://seawifs.gsfc.nasa.gov/OCEAN_PLANET/HTML/ps_vents.html I think this is what they're referring to when they talk about the hydrothermal vents.  They only discovered life around them in 1977.  They'd known about this kind of stuff for a while before that anyway.

message: I had to take to the groundwater section. There is no such thing as "primordial water". While primordial volatiles (helium-3 springs to mind) are known and recognised, it is practically impossible to determine how long water has been trapped within the Earth as no dating can be performed on H2O. Therefore "primordial water" is a great idea, but it is never, ever used in scientific literature.
The best that can be said is that, within the broader term "ground water" you have components of meteoric water, magmatic water and metamorphic or formational brines. These  water classes are recognised by dH and d18O stable isotopes, and in the case of magmatic waters, also by the presence of 3He. Formational brines, as far as I'm concerned, are different than metamorphic waters because of their salt content, chemical content, and age; you can date formational brines and metamorphic waters via several isotopes (Be, for instance, plus trittium, etc) and can determine the age of groundwaters and metamorphic or other sources. 
When it comes, specifically, to hydrothermal fields, about 90% of the water comes from the ocean itself, drawn down by convection, or from the atmosphere and recent groundwaters (eg; New Zealand, Greenland, California). To say there is magmatic water is fine; but odds are you'd be laughed out of town for suggesting it contained water which was in the mantle since the Earth formed.Rolinator 07:43, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

message: I suggest the article on black smokers should be merged into this page, as black smokers are a subtype of hydrothermal vents. DiverDave (talk) 02:38, 21 June 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merger proposal 

message: Surely the suggested inclusion within the scope of Wikiproject Volcanoes and WikiProject Geology can be made without garishly tying up space at the top, leaving descriptions to the respective pages.   
Aren't quality and importance scale ratings rather subjective in  spite of guide lines.    Shouldn't this be left to the reader to decide.  Note these topics are referenced here at the bottom. 
I suggest therefor, baring strenuous objection, that the templates at the top be removed , leaving this page for truly spontaneous discussion without promotion or implied directive.

thread_title:  exploration 

message: I notice several references to 'barometric pressure' in this article. while technically correct, consideration for a change to the more accurate 'hydrostatic pressure' is suggested. The units of measure remain the same, but the atmospheric pressure, which is what most folks think of when they think of 'barometric pressure,' is a very small portion of the total subsurface pressure below 100 meters or so of sea water.

message: "Recently, mineral exploration companies, driven by the elevated price activity in the base metals sector during the mid-2000s, have turned their attention to extraction of mineral resources from hydrothermal fields on the seafloor. Significant cost reductions are, in theory, possible.[26] Consider that in the case of the Mount Isa orebody, large amounts of capital are required to sink shafts and associated underground infrastructure, then laboriously drill and blast the ore, crush and process it, to extract the base metals, an activity which requires a large workforce.
The Marshall hydrothermal recovery system is a patented proposal to exploit hydrothermal vents for their energy and minerals. A hydrothermal field, consisting of chimneys and compacted chimney remains, can be reached from the surface via a dynamically positioned ship or platform, using conventional pipe, mined using modified soft rock mining technology (continuous miners), brought to the surface via the pipe, concentrated and dewatered then shipped directly to a smelter. While the concept sounds far-fetched, it uses already proven technology derived from the offshore oil and gas industries, and the soft-rock mining industries."

message: I was browsing this page when I came across the cartoon image included to explain the cycle of chemicals in a vent.
I have a question about it. It displays water percolating down through the crust, and then being forced upward again out the vent. Why is it that both of those things can happen? If water was being forced upward, it wouldn't percolate down. If it could percolate down, it wouldn't be forced upward.

message: IMO, this whole paragraph is questionable and should be deleted.
> Attempts have been made in the past to exploit minerals from the seafloor. The 1960s and 70s saw a great deal of activity (and expenditure) in the recovery of manganese nodules from the abyssal plains, with varying degrees of success. This does demonstrate however that recovery of minerals from the seafloor is possible, and has been possible for some time. Interestingly, mining of manganese nodules served as a cover story for the elaborate attempt in 1974 by the CIA to raise the sunken Soviet submarine K-129, using the Glomar Explorer, a ship purpose built for the task by Howard Hughes[citation needed]. The operation was known as Project Azorian, and the cover story of seafloor mining of manganese nodules may have served as the impetus to propel other companies to make the attempt.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.6.100.99 (talk) 20:49, 7 March 2018 (UTC)

message: Hi all, I recently deleted content talking about "land types" of hydrothermal vents. While geysers and the like are similar, they are not actually hydrothermal vents. Comparisons are often made for explanation purposes, but they are not true hydrothermal vents. Additionally, I removed content stating that hydrothermal vents are volcanic vents. While they are often located in volcanic active areas, hydrothermal vents themselves are not volcanic. If you have sources that state differently, please provide them so we can evaluate.
