Hydrothermal in a sentence

Hydrothermal breccias are usually formed by hydrofracturing of rocks by highly pressured hydrothermal fluids.

These worms were discovered in the late 1980s at the hydrothermal vents near the Galapagos Islands and have since been found at deep-sea hydrothermal vents and cold seeps in all of the world's oceans.

AGG surveys are focused on identifying gravity lows which are interpreted to be caused by hydrothermal fluids altering basement rocks to clay.

For decades, Reysenbach has collected chimneys from deep-sea hydrothermal vents across the world's oceans, and her lab uses genetic fingerprinting and cultivation techniques to study the microbial of the communities associated with these rocks.

Using submersible vehicles, the team studied the biodiversity and all the species found in that ecosystem, called a hydrothermal seep.

Focus of the expanded summer program is on assessing the broad hydrothermal system at PCE (Figure 2) and expanding the mineralized footprint.

Gold mineralization appears to be focused within breccia and shear zones that have been affected by hydrothermal alteration and sulphide mineralization.

Our target generation has identified areas of potential structural disruption and hydrothermal fluid alteration along the uranium-fertile Wollaston-Mudjatik transition zone that hosts numerous high-grade uranium deposits.

The phenomenon, known as hydrothermal explosionin the heart of the national park of Yellowstone Supervolcano.

The student research examined whether it is possible to use this natural carbon dioxide removal process and enhance it by expanding these ocean hydrothermal systems through drilling to help draw down atmospheric CO2.

They flowed water with key chemical building blocks through the cracks and then used heat to mimic a process that might occur near hydrothermal vents in the ocean or in porous rock near a geothermal pool.

But do you know what a hydrothermal vent sounds like?

The water in the park’s hydrothermal systems can exceed 400 degrees Fahrenheit and can cause “severe or fatal burns,” she said.

Hydrothermal vents and their species actually function quite similar to special habitats like limestone karsts and animals that only live there.

The moon has powerful hydrothermal vents that eject material for the core of the planet that mixes with water from the moon’s massive subsurface ocean.

They demonstrated that metal sulfides, including those of iron, copper, lead, and silver (some of which are common constituent minerals in hydrothermal vent environments), were converted to native metals by electroreduction.

When we walked the property, we noticed a lot of vuggy silica, a type of hydrothermal replacement of the host rock with a pitted appearance, throughout the area.

In their study, an international team of researchers used a remotely operated underwater vehicle (ROV) to survey in and around an active hydrothermal field located in the Galápagos archipelago, 28 miles north of Darwin Island.

A breccia may have a variety of different origins, as indicated by the named types including sedimentary breccia, tectonic breccia, igneous breccia, impact breccia, and hydrothermal breccia.

A recently discovered carnivorous sponge that lives near hydrothermal vents hosts methane-eating bacteria, and digests some of them.
