In the southern Gulf of California, at a depth of 3,800 meters, US and Mexican scientists discovered a new field of hydrothermal vents, whose ecosystem is unlike any of the previous ones, with many unknown species .
in the Pescadero Basin, was named Jaich Maa, which means "liquid metal" in the language of the ancient indigenous inhabitants of Mexico who lived nearby. The name is not simply chosen: the temperature of the hydrothermal fluid is about 290 degrees Celsius and the temperature of the seawater from which it comes into contact is only about two degrees. This difference leads to various indices of refraction, because of which the water seems to wobble.
Hydrothermal vents are an exciting phenomenon. They represent cracks in the seabed, which emit heat from the earth, usually associated with volcanoes.
Although the depth of the site is not very large, this region is difficult to access: to get there, scientists must overcome and maintain the lack of oxygen, ocean pressure and extreme temperatures.
"Using Underwater Robotics to Map the Sea In conjunction with remotely operated vehicles, the research team was able to interact and select animals, microbes, stones and "," said David Caress of the Monterey Aquarium Research Institute Bay ( MBARI ).
Among the rich flora and fauna of the region, species never observed before in hydrothermal vents were discovered: for example, marine anemones often found in others parts of the ocean, are densely grouped around the bases of calcite embryos.
] "New species, new behaviors, blue germs! Even with the recent dive at Jaich Maa, we have still discovered new species and we were convinced that there were still many new things. These places have housed the most diverse communities, but there is a group of creatures that seem to dominate: Oasisia tubular worms, marine anemones and blue polychaete worms ", – says Bekah Shepard, a staff member of the Institute from the Schmidt Ocean.
Scientists are in a hurry to leave Antarctica. Something terrible has come out from under the earth, there are deaths.
Scientists have warned of terrible tests reported by the portal "Know."
"Know.u" wrote that the next five years, the Earth would be under the shock of abnormal heat and harsh winters.
