Special Relativity

The theory of special relativity discusses how space and time are related to objects traveling along a straight line at a constant speed. Simply stated, as an object reaches the speed of light, its mass becomes infinite and it is unable to move faster than light. This interstellar speed limit has been the topic of much debate in astronomy, and also in science fiction when people consider how to fly over large distances.

Hydrothermal vent areas have hydrothermal chimneys, from which hot, mineral-rich water comes out. (This hot water often looks like black smoke, but it's not really smoke, it just has a lot of dark, microscopic mineral grains in it.) Where does this hot water come from? a Ice underneat the seafloor gets melted by volcanic activity, and this extra water comes out of the vents. b It comes directly from the Earth's core, since our core is made of hot, high-pressure water. c It is seawater that went down through cracks, got heated by magma, and rises up to emerge from the seafloor. d Some of the minerals in the Earth's mantle break down and release large volumes of water.
