Om denne e-boken

Beneath the waves, a world of fire thrives, and ""Ocean Hosts Fire"" explores the dynamic realm of submarine volcanism and hydrothermal vents. This book unveils how these underwater volcanoes influence ocean chemistry, contribute to the Earth's heat budget, and support unique ecosystems. Discover how plate tectonics and mantle plumes create these fiery formations on the ocean floor, shaping our planet in profound ways.

The book journeys from the earliest deep-sea explorations to modern oceanographic research, detailing methods used to map underwater heat sources and analyze vent fluids. It emphasizes the interconnectedness of geology, chemistry, and marine biology, revealing how tectonic activity and hydrothermal circulation foster chemosynthetic life.

Learn about the surprising biodiversity around hydrothermal vents, where life thrives in extreme conditions, fueled by earth sciences.

Structured in four parts, ""Ocean Hosts Fire"" first lays the geological groundwork, then explores oceanographic research techniques, before detailing the biological communities around vents, and finally discussing the broader implications of deep-sea volcanism. This approach provides an integrated perspective, making complex scientific concepts accessible to students, scientists, policymakers, and anyone curious about the hidden forces shaping our oceans and planet.
