kylflöden
Kylflöden, also known as cold flows or cold seeps, are geological features where cold, low-density fluids, typically methane-rich, escape from the seafloor. These fluids are often associated with the decomposition of organic matter in deep sediment layers. Kylflöden are distinct from hydrothermal vents, which are characterized by hot, mineral-rich fluids.
Cold seeps are commonly found in areas with high concentrations of organic matter, such as continental margins
The study of kylflöden is important for understanding the distribution and behavior of methane in the ocean,
