A steam plume rises from Bogoslof volcano as hot lava heats the seawater during an eruption in August 2017.

Charlie's research told him that during El Niño weather cycles, the surface seawaters in the Great Barrier Reef lagoon, already heated to unusually high levels by greenhouse gas — induced warming, were being pulsed from a mass of ocean water known as the Western Pacific Warm Pool onto the reef's delicate living corals.

Hydrothermal vents, where heated, mineral - laden seawater spews from cracks in the ocean crust, are home to various diverse organisms.

The models reveal a «hydrothermal siphon» driven by heat loss from deep in the Earth and the flow of cold seawater down into the crust and of warmed water up out of the crust.

The seawater is heated by the magma; the hot water rises again, leaches metals and other elements from the ground and is released as a black colored solution.

The heat apparently derives from a chemical reaction between mantle rock and seawater.

By Year 1.1 billion, deep - sea hematite - bearing rock found in the Marble Bar chert formation of northwestern Australia indicates that iron - rich water gushed from volcanically heated seafloor vents were able to mix with cooler oxygen - rich seawater (Ohmoto et al, Nature Geoscience, March 15, 2009; PSU press release, and in EurkaAlert; and Sid Perkins, ScienceNews, April 11, 2009).

The study also revealed that the ice melting that was caused by the storm was the result of heat coming from the stirring of seawater layers below the ice.

The open cycle consists of the following steps: (i) flash evaporation of a fraction of the warm seawater by reduction of pressure below the saturation value corresponding to its temperature (ii) expansion of the vapor through a turbine to generate power; (iii) heat transfer to the cold seawater thermal sink resulting in condensation of the working fluid; and (iv) compression of the non-condensable gases (air released from the seawater streams at the low operating pressure) to pressures required to discharge them from the system.

And that heat transfer from as yet unfrozen seawater may generate the higher arctic pressures that drive cold air masses southward.
