The abiotic factors in the Hydrothermal ecosystem includes:
Temperature
The Black Smokers; They are the Hydrothermal vents or chimneys that emit a thick black smoke full of vital nutrients that provide for the organisms that live there.
Tectonic Plates are important aboitic factor in the formation of the Hydrothermal Vents. Hydrothermal Vents are usually formed along the boundaries of Divergent Tectonic Plates
Nutrients are an important aboitic factor in the formation of Hydrothermal vent ecosystem. Without the nutrients that spew from the Black Smokers or Chimneys, the animals that grow in the Hydrothermal ecosystem would not be able to grow.
Seawater meets magma to form a hydrothermal vent.
Hot Hydrothermal fluid bursts through the vents from the earth's core.
Many minerals are formed at hydrothermal vents that are important for the surrounding ecosystem. Copper and ZInc are a few important minerals found in the Vents. (The Image is Copper)
Magma meets seawater to form the Hydrothermal Vent.
Magnesium is part of the chemical processes undergone in Hydrothermal Vents. Magnesium enters the fissures in the Seafloor of the Hydrothermal Vent. It is then Heated by the magma and comes out of the Vent as a different Chemical (it has undergone Chemical changes inside the vent due to the heat).
Color is an abiotic factor in the Hydrothermal Vents. The color actually lets Scientists know what chemicals the vents are comprised of. (Byrite is an example of a chemical and it makes white vents. Sulfide is an example of a chemical that makes black vents.)
