Answer: Black smokers are found along the mid-ocean ridges, and are located above magma chambers. Another name for black smokers are hydrothermal vents, and were first discovered by scientists in 1977. These hydrothermal vents reflect upon the earliest stages of life on earth. Archaea and the majority of bacteria will not be able to survive due to the superheated hydrothermal fluids of the hydrothermal vents.
