Spanish term or phrase: Flujos hidrotermales difusivos
My take is Hydrothermal diffusive flows but can't really find anything on this as such and think it's not totally correct, help appreciated

¿Cuál es la importancia del intercambio de fluidos (además del de calor) entre la corteza terrestre y el océano abisal?
Nuestras hipótesis son que
Flujos hidrotermales difusivos son un determinante importante de la circulación oceánica sobre el fondo del mar conforme el fluido es cargado y descargado a través de la corteza y a lo largo del eje y flancos de una dorsal activa.
Las mareas pueden jugar un papel importante en el bombeo de fluidos a través de la corteza, proporcionando así un mecanismo para extraer calor del subsuelo y liberarlo en el océano.

diffusive hydrothermal fluxes


Explanation:
Since "flow" in the ocean is not consistent in speed or direction flux is the term used.

neutral  TravellingTrans: the technical term is actually diffuse, but it can be flux of flow depending on what specifically is being referred to, a diffuse flow and a diffuse flux actually refer to seperate things technically

agree  TravellingTrans: correct but also could mean flux, diffuse flow and flux having slightly different meanings though I don't know exactly what
