Conceptual depiction of a deep-sea hydrothermal vent chimney on the ocean floor releasing a buoyant blue plume of superheated, mineral-rich fluids. The rising plume implies turbulent mixing of reduced endmember fluids (e.g., H2S, CH4, dissolved metals and silica) with cold oxygenated seawater, driving sulfide precipitation typical of black-smoker systems at spreading ridges and back-arc settings. The scene highlights heat flux, fluid-rock interaction, and chemosynthesis-supported ecosystems populated by extremophiles at the seafloor.
