1) There are four main stages in the development of deep sea vents: 1) heated seawater circulates through cracks in the ocean crust near spreading centers, 2) minerals precipitate out of the superheated water forming chimney-like structures, 3) over time the structures grow larger and more complex as mineral deposits accumulate, 4) the structures eventually collapse under their own weight and the cycle repeats. 2) Black smokers occur where magma is closer to the seafloor and emit dark, particle-laden fluid
