ANS: B
The water that is coming from hydrothermal vents is much warmer than the surrounding waters, but
the chemical composition is also different. It is more acidic, enriched with metals, and has higher
concentrations of dissolved gases. Information can be found in the section The Topography of Deep-
Ocean Basins Differs from That of the Continental Margins
