02. Deep Sea Vents, Ecuador
Deep-sea vents, also known as hydrothermal vents, are not typically associated with Ecuador. Instead, they are more commonly found along mid-ocean ridges in various parts of the world’s oceans, particularly along the East Pacific Rise, which stretches along the eastern Pacific Ocean floor.
Ecuador is known for its diverse geography, including the Galápagos Islands, which have their own unique underwater ecosystems and geological features but are not typically associated with hydrothermal vents. The Galápagos Islands are renowned for their role in Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution and their rich marine biodiversity.
