Today we learned about Hydrothermal Vents. They are toxic and sometimes called chimneys because they spout black smoke. We saw tube-worms and shrimps living around them. We found out that they could be as hot as 400 degrees C and 25metres tall. We also found out that some scientists think these vents were where the first life appeared on earth. Even before dinosaurs and insects.
Then, Johnathan asked, 'Before beards were made?'
'Yes Johnathan,' Mr Miller replied, sighing and rolling his eyes, 'Even before beards!'
