Animal Life Discovered Underground Near Hydrothermal Vents in the Deep Pacific Seabed
Recent deep-sea explorations have unveiled a remarkable ecosystem thriving beneath the Pacific Ocean's floor. Scientists deployed a remotely operated vehicle to investigate hydrothermal vent sites along the East Pacific Rise, where two tectonic plates diverge. Beneath the seafloor, they discovered cavities harboring giant tubeworms—the largest wo...

Origins of Life Explored: Study Points To Ancient Hot Springs As Potential Source
This research not only sheds light on Earth's early life, but also raises the tantalizing possibility that similar processes could be occurring in the frozen seas of distant moons.

Massive Deep-Sea Hydrothermal Vent Field Discovered in the Depths of the Pacific Ocean: Details
Deep beneath the surface of the Pacific Ocean, researchers, from Lehigh University, have discovered a high-temperature off-axis hydrothermal vent field on the floor of ocean. It has been found at the depth of 2,550 metres and is likely to help scientists understand the impact of such vents on the life and chemistry of the oceans of the Earth.

Hydrogen In Saturn Moon's Ice Plumes May Support Microbial Life
Ice plumes shooting into space from Saturn's ocean-bearing moon Enceladus contain hydrogen from hydrothermal vents, an environment that some scientists believe led to the rise of life on Earth, research published on Thursday showed.
