Synopsis: When scientists explore the deep sea by submarine, they bump into some creepy characters.
Excerpt: A deep-sea vent is like a geyser, but it is on the ocean floor. It may be a mile or several miles below the surface. A deep-sea vent also blows hot water--hotter than boiling. But it blows the water into the cold ocean. That means the water around a deep-sea vent is much warmer than the rest of the ocean.

The temperature of the deep sea is much too cold for animals.

Question: What would most likely happen if all the deep-sea vents suddenly disappeared?
  1. The temperature of deep ocean water would become colder.
  2. More sunlight would reach the deepest part of the ocean.
  3. Sea creatures would have an easier time finding food.
  4. More sea creatures would start living in the deepest part of the ocean.
