<b>HEY THERE!!

When seawater seeps down into the ocean crust and is heated by the magma, it undergoes lots of chemical reactions. When the fluid rises up through the seafloor, it carries many new chemicals with it, such as-- copper and zinc.
These chemical reactions also remove chemicals from the seawater, such as oxygen and magnesium.

So clearly vebtus fluid is different from sea water .


HOPE IT HELPS YOU.
