Abstract The basis of this experiment was to test and examine how different contaminants affect ground water. The experiment had interesting results whereby when I filtered vinegar through a media containing dirt resulting material as clean. I report that it surprised me since I did not expect that any of the contaminants used in the experiment would affect water equally the same way it affected vinegar. I had to think critically that the water probably have dirt that has been mixed with the…

These amazing beautiful towers of volcanoes on the ocean floor vary in every way which only makes them more mysterious and fascinating. The first discovery of a hydrothermal vent was aboard a 3-person submersible named Alvin in 1977 at the Galapagos Rift (WHOI, 2004). This vent was a discovery of warm fluids mixing with cold ocean water rising from the ocean floor crust (WHOI, 2004). “In 1979, a second hydrothermal system was discovered along the East Pacific Rise” (WHOI,2004). This discovery…
