Difference between Hydrothermal vent and Rift

Hydrothermal vent vs. Rift

A hydrothermal vent is a fissure in a planet's surface from which geothermally heated water issues. In geology, a rift is a linear zone where the lithosphere is being pulled apart and is an example of extensional tectonics.

Similarities between Hydrothermal vent and Rift

Hydrothermal vent and Rift have 5 things in common (in Unionpedia): Hotspot (geology), Mid-ocean ridge, New Zealand, Norway, Plate tectonics.

Hotspot (geology)

In geology, the places known as hotspots or hot spots are volcanic regions thought to be fed by underlying mantle that is anomalously hot compared with the surrounding mantle.

Mid-ocean ridge

A mid-ocean ridge (MOR) is an underwater mountain system formed by plate tectonics.

Plate tectonics

Plate tectonics (from the Late Latin tectonicus, from the τεκτονικός "pertaining to building") is a scientific theory describing the large-scale motion of seven large plates and the movements of a larger number of smaller plates of the Earth's lithosphere, since tectonic processes began on Earth between 3 and 3.5 billion years ago.
