← ScienceWhich consequence results when geothermal vent fluids deposit minerals?
A)Formation of a hydrothermal vent✓
B)Increased oxidation near magma chamber
C)Reduced silica within oceanic crust
D)Accelerated depletion of dissolved gases
💡 Explanation
Hydration of vent fluids causes precipitation altering the phase of materials from dissolved to deposition of solid phases. This forms chimney-like structures via mineral accretion, therefore creating hydrothermal vents, rather than changing gas depletion or oxidizing silica.
