Answer:
Organisms living near hydro-thermal vents get their energy from Sulphur.
Explanation:
The hot springs found near the Underwater volcanoes at convergent plate boundaries and spreading ridges are called as Hydro-thermal vents . The organisms that live near these hydro-thermal vents are capable of living in very hot water that has a temperature of 65°C to 100°C that would kill most surface organisms.
Also, organisms present at depth of the hydro-thermal vent are adapted to very high and extreme pressure. The water in this vent are very rich in Hydrogen Sulphide [tex](H_2S)[/tex].This hydrogen sulphide has very rich amount of energy. Although the[tex]H_2S[/tex] is toxic, the bacteria and other living organism are adjusted themselves to make use of the energy in the Hydrogen sulphide.
