Handleiding

The ocean floor shows that the surface of our Earth is composed of plates,

just like a mosaic. They are always in motion, so the map of the Earth’s

surface is constantly changing. The plates can even collide and slide over or

under one another. In other areas, the plates are moving away from each other. This

creates gaps through which magma can flow from the Earth’s interior and create giant

underwater mountain ranges called mid-ocean ridges.

And here is where Amanda has another

interesting phenomenon to show you:

“There’s a lot happening around the

mid-ocean ridges. There are

countless hot springs there, known

as hydrothermal vents.

Hydrothermal vents under the

water are also called black

or white smokers. They look like

little volcanoes. But instead of

lava, what flows out of them is

hot, mineral-rich water at

temperatures of over

300°C.

The minerals

make them look like

little smoking chimneys. There

is a lot of activity around these

hot vents, with fish, mollusks,

crustaceans, and countless other

sea animals bustling around.”

“And now you know a little more about the ocean, its treasures, its inhabitants, and its

endless depths. Maybe we’ll run into each other during your next vacation by the sea!”

Come on, I’ll

show you!
