Oceanography

Hydrothermal vent chimney

A chimney-like hydrothermal vent rising vertically from the seafloor, formed from dark mineral deposits as an irregular black smoker spire, tubular tower, or slightly conical chimney. The structure has a wide rocky base, jagged uneven silhouette, and rough crusted, layered, porous mineral-encrusted surface suggestive of sulfide buildup. Coloration is predominantly black, charcoal gray, and dark gray, sometimes with rusty brown tones or pale mineral deposits around the rim. A distinct narrow to hollow opening at the top resembles a smokestack.
