Researchers Discover Five New #HydrothermalVents in Pacific Ocean https://www.sci.news/othersciences/geoscience/east-pacific-rise-hydrothermal-vents-12799.html
"#Hydrothermal vents are rich in chemicals that supply energy to #animal life, fueling rich and productive #ecosystems. The new sites... are located on the #EastPacificRise near 10°N latitude, a part of the globe-spanning mid-ocean ridge #volcanic mountain chain, where two #TectonicPlates are splitting apart at a rate of about 11 cm per year."

Scientists Discover New Ecosystem Underneath #Hydrothermal Vents https://schmidtocean.org/scientists-discover-new-ecosystem-underneath-hydrothermal-vents/
"New #ecosystem has been discovered in #volcanic cavities beneath #HydrothermalVents at a well-studied #undersea #volcano on the #EastPacificRise off #CentralAmerica. The landmark 30-day expedition aboard #ResearchVessel Falkor (too) was led by Dr. Monika Bright... Using a #robot, they overturned chunks of volcanic crust, discovering #cave systems teeming with #worms, #snails, and #chemosynthetic #bacteria"
