Photographs of the sea floor provided some of the first clues about the abundance of life in the deep ocean, lava flows on the mid-ocean ridge crest, and evidence for hydrothermal venting [e.g., Hersey, 1967; Heezen and Hollister, 1971; Ballard and Moore, 1977; Lonsdale, 1977]. These direct observat ...
