At
this
site
students
use
the
Web
to
explore
places
they
would
not
otherwise
be
able
to
visit.
Here
they
get
to
visit
a
volcano
erupting
approximately
2,300
meters
(1.5
miles)
below
the
surface
of
the
sea.
During
their
research,
they
investigate
the
dynamic
forces
at
work
in
the
deep
seas,
including
the
submarine
volcanoes
and
earthquakes
that
are
the
direct
result
of
plate
tectonics.

This
interactive
tool
helps
students
grasp
the
difficult
task
of
locating
deep
sea
vents
by
allowing
them
to
virtually
"survey"
a
portion
of
the
Juan
de
Fuca
Ridge
in
the
Pacific
Ocean.
Students
begin
by
using
a
CTD
(Conductivity
-
Temperature
-
Depth)
package
to
take
a
number
of
initial
water-temperature
readings.
They
then
focus
on
a
40-kilometer
(24.8-mile)
path,
taking
up
to
55
temperature
readings

Less
than
a
century
ago,
people
expected
the
ocean
floor
to
be
as
featureless
as
the
surface
of
the
water
above.
However,
underwater
explorations
revealed
quite
the
opposite:
towering
mid-oceanic
ridges
and
deep
ocean
trenches.
This
video
segment
discusses
the
possible
role
of
deep-sea
vents
in
the
formation
of
life
on
the
early
Earth,
and
reveals
the
unexpectedly
rich
ecosystems
researchers
found,

This site uses Virtual Reality field trips in the Alvin submarine to the East Pacific Rise to explore hydrothermal vents. The education activites focus on 4 activities: Exploration, Observing (actual video from the seafloor), Mapping, and Collecting a Water Sample. Teaching materials for each of the explorations have been provided, each with two levels of assessment (basic and advanced).

the
biologic
communities
that
depend
on
them.
