DEEP SEA VENTS

INTRODUCTION

• They can power life by giving off chemical reactions
• Far below the younger crust are living communities and the heat
• Started these communities to sprout life (hydrothermal circulation)
• Lastly abiogenesis, which is how two non living things create life
• (Amino acids mixing w/ crust making life)

ABIOGENESIS

ABIOGENESIS

• Abiogenesis is how life is made out of non living matter
• The earliest life began about 3.5 billion years ago in the sea crust
• The self replicating molecules in the crust could have possibly
• Replicated into something bigger and then over time sprout the
• Formula for life.

SEAFLOOR HYDROTHERMAL CIRCULATION

HYDROTHERMAL CIRCULATION

• In areas deep underwater where there are hot areas (geysers or hot springs)
• These areas contain convection cells which can be a source or root of life
• Starting there, these hot areas contain a lot of these cells and maybe
• These cells could have come together and possibly make a source of life or
• At least a root to the source of life.

CHEMICAL REACTIONS

CHEMICAL REACTIONS

• From all of the heat. These chemicals contain enzymes
• Mixed together and started a life force, this way more common then
• Others because of the energy source is more likely to make a life source
