Abstract
Types of submarine hydrogeological structures with modern hydrothermal activity in the North Atlantic are observed. Most part of noted hydrothermal fields are situated within the limits of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge (MAR). There are inner and outer (relative to main MAR structural elements) suboceanic hydrogeological structures. Axis, hillside and summit hydrogeological massifs are distinguished. Outside MAR volcanogenic massifs with periodical hydrothermal activity are forecasted due to geochemical anomalies in bottom waters.
