... basically in tectonically active spreading zones of oceans (mid-ocean ridges and "back-arc" spreading systems) and are the result of the global heat transfer from the mantle above the oceanic crust into the water column. In these SMS deposits, metals such as copper (Cu), zinc (Zn) and lead (Pb) as well...

... of the submarine massive sulfide (SMS) deposits. EM surveying can be used to determine the resistivity of near-surface and subsurface structure. SMS deposits fall into two categories; zinc rich non-conductive and conductive copper-gold deposits. One system is an ROV-mounted EM system that operates near...

... to pressure and water depth, is phase separation. Modern hydrothermal fields provide insight into geological controls, as well as the mode of formation of Submarine Massive Sulfide (SMS) deposits. On fast spreading ridges, the discharge is unstable and the style of activity varies according to the relative...
