A hydrothermal vent is a fissure in a planet's surface from which geothermally heated water is released. Hydrothermal vents are commonly found in places that are also volcanically active, where hot magma is relatively near the planet's surface, e.g. at mid-ocean ridges.

Here is a definition and more information:

...and here are some pictures of hydrothermal vents from Google, and this an extended description that you might find helpful... 

 A hydrothermal vent is a fissure or opening in the Earth's crust where hot water, minerals, and gases are released from the Earth's mantle into the ocean. 

These vents are typically found near areas of tectonic activity, such as mid-ocean ridges, where magma rises to the surface and heats the surrounding seawater. 

 Hydrothermal vents can reach temperatures of over 400°C (752°F) and release a variety of chemicals, including hydrogen sulphide, methane, and iron sulphide. 

These chemicals can support the growth of unique and specialized ecosystems that are not found anywhere else on Earth. 

 At hydrothermal vents, water is heated by the magma below the Earth's crust and then released into the ocean through the vent. 

The hot water is typically rich in minerals and nutrients, which can provide a food source for a variety of creatures, including bacteria, tube worms, crabs, and other species. 

 The ecosystems that thrive at hydrothermal vents are called chemosynthetic communities, as they rely on chemicals instead of sunlight to produce energy. 

These communities are important in understanding how life can exist in extreme environments and can provide insight into the origins of life on Earth.

Mumbai, formerly known as Bombay, is the most populous city in India, and is one of the biggest cities in the world with an estimated population of about 13 million (they think!). Dharavi is one of Asia's largest slums, and it's up for sale. Some of India's biggest property developers are set to bid for tenders to develop it. Mumbai officials hope to see Dharavi transformed into a tourist destination. Karishma Vaswan reports for the BBC from Mumbai. The Dharavi slum case study is the perfect example of slum demolition. First, watch this video . ...and then read these articles: Bombay's billion dollar slum India's poor seek budget relief - consider some of the causes of housing problems in Mumbai.

Hybrid vehicles

Did you know that every 6,000 miles a car travels, it produces its own weight in CO2? There are 30 million cars in the UK and each car is driven on average 9,000 miles a year. That's a lot of CO2 being pumped into our air. These photos show some examples of current electric hybrid models: Toyota Prius What are hybrid electric vehicles? Hybrid vehicles are powered by a combination of a petrol or diesel engine and electricity. This cuts down on the amount of fuel needed, meaning hybrid vehicles produce fewer emissions. and spend less on petrol. Most hybrids also use regenerative braking, which means that energy is put back into the battery when braking - this improves energy efficiency and reduces brake wear. Honda Insight What are the environmental benefits of hybrid electric vehicles? As well as producing fewer emissions, hybrid technologies improve fuel efficiency and therefore provide considerable fuel savings compared to a non-hybrid vehicle. Honda Civic Hybrid How much does i...
