Revealing new ecosystems under the deepest
A 'accidental' discovery involving volcanic eruptions at the heart of scientists has helped them find exotic ecosystems in the latest seabed areas in the Mariana 'hell' crack. .
"We are interested in this area because of the rare deep sea volcanic eruptions that are aimed at providing heat to hot springs in the ocean floor. Hydrothermal vents are found near. active volcanic areas provide energy, often home to many complex biological communities fed by dissolved chemicals in the surrounding water.
New lava layers appear under the Mariana fissure after volcanic eruptions.
Bacteria that form the root of the food chain for abnormal ecosystems live around. Although the scientific community has known these hydrothermal vents since the 1970s, little is known about the different types of animals living around it, " said Bill Chadwick, a marine geologist from the Gas Authority. The book and Yang Yang America, who led the research team said.
Mariana groove or rift in the Mariana Islands, in the Pacific Northwest. The terrible depth of the Mariana Trench is even greater than the world's highest. The whole trench is 2,550km long. The width of the trench is only about 69km.
It is known to be one of the harshest living hell on the planet: extremely light, high pressure plus extremely low temperatures. However, with the new discoveries of scientists, it seems that the "rhythm of life" in this famous rift is not as quiet as we often know after there were volcanic eruptions on the sea floor.
Ecosystems formed next to special heat dissipation chambers.
According to scientists, in the groove area 'hell' Mariana has been discovered there are hydrothermal vents in two different environments with contrast biochemical elements. This has created two ecosystems with rare animals in different deep sea.
Prior to the discovery of the correlation between the special heat-dissipating mouths in the Mariana fissure area, the team encountered a volcanic eruption deep in the ocean about 4,500 meters forming new structures beneath crack.
And over the past 30 years, scientists have used various exploration methods to record about 40 undersea eruptions - before 1990, scientists have yet to pay attention to this issue. Chadwick and his team discovered the eruptions thanks to a combination of luck and the right tools to discover.
The team first visited the volcanic ocean eruption area in 2015, they observed signs of new lava still warm. After 1 year, the researchers returned and discovered heat-dissipating mouths were significantly reduced with the formation of a new peculiar ecosystem that scientists thought was a completely different world.
Currently, scientists are continuing to study to better understand the formation of the ecosystems under the ' Mariana hell' slot related to volcanic eruptions and the formation of the .
