Abstract

ABSTRACT This paper presents a short review of some of the notable contributions by scientists from several parts of the world in furthering our understanding of the seafloor hydrothermal activity on the Indian Ocean ridges (IOR). Studies to date on the hydrothermal plumes and vents on the IOR and the marine sediments around the vents highlight the complex nature of hydrothermal activity on the Indian Ocean ridge system which is characterised by varying spreading rates, differences in the host rock system and perceptible variations in the chemical composition of the hydrothermal fluids.
