If youre thinking that this is another article where we talk about lava and volcanos, you are absolutely right! And if you also thought that this was going to be just as fun as last time, youre right again. Wow, arent you on fire today!
This cool science experiment is not only fun to look at, but it also demonstrates the scientific fact that hot water rises and cold water sinks. In fact, this is precisely the case with hydrothermal vents – natures own underwater volcanos.
Hydrothermal Vent
What a monstrous sight, right? Thats a hydrothermal vent somewhere in the depths of the Pacific Ocean.
A hydrothermal vent is the result of seawater seeping down through fissures in the ocean crust. The cold seawater is heated by hot magma. The now heated water comes back to the surface to form the vents. Seawater in hydrothermal vents may reach temperatures of over 400 degrees celsius. Hydrothermal vents are known to exist in the Pacific and Atlantic oceans. Most are found at an average depth of about 2,100 meters (7,000 ft) on the seafloor. Hydrothermal vents continuously spew super-hot, mineral-rich water. The hottest of such vents are called Black Smokers. They spew mostly iron and sulfide, which combine to form iron monosulfide. This compound gives the smoker its distinctive black colour.
Things youll need:
Method:
But why is this happening?
The underwater volcano is created because hot water rises and cold water sinks, just the way it happens in hydrothermal vents. This is because of the change in waters density due to temperature difference. The particles of the hot water (less dense) are moving faster than the denser particles of the cold water. As a result, when we placed the bottle into the container filled with cold water, the hot water in the bottle started to rise out of the bottle and circulate to the top of the container because it is less dense than the surrounding cold water. Less dense fluids rise and more dense fluids sink. The red hot water then remained at the top of the container and created what looked like an erupting volcano.
There you have it! Your very own homemade hydrothermal vent (of sorts) is ready! Did you enjoy this experiment? Share your experience with us in the comments below.
