HOT AND COLD. “Chemosynthetic communities of microorganisms, often associated with invertebrate hosts, exist in the deep sea at hydrothermal vents and cold seeps. Hydrothermal vents are fissures in the ocean floor that leak hot, acidic water. Cold seeps are additional sites of fluid release from the seafloor that are frequently present along the borders of continental plates.”
