Scientists discovered a new hydrothermal field 8,366 feet beneath the Pacific Ocean covering an area the size of a football field that could help them better understand how volcanic activity has affected life in Earth’s oceans. These deep-sea vents are located in places where activity from the planet’s crust causes tectonic plates to split and form new seafloor rock that contains cracks where seawater seeps – similar to what hot springs do on land, these vents eject mineral-rich fluids. heated to a high temperature. A team of researchers from Lehigh University discovered this field about 200 miles off the coast of Mexico and have stated that it will help to advance our understanding of how marine life is – and continues to be – affected by volcanic eruptions. Scroll down for the video ‘The mapping work provides a detailed picture of the ocean floor so we can monitor and measure changes that occur when the next volcanic eruption occurs,’ said one of the researchers.

The large field of hydrothermal vents on the seafloor in the dark depths of the East Pacific ocean is the hottest and largest ever found in the region. Not only that, but in places where scientists don’t expect to find active vents, let alone the entire system, hundreds of meters from the axis of the volcanic ridge. The discovery, scientists say, could have a significant impact on our understanding of ventilation systems, and the role they play in marine ecosystems. The field was discovered by a team of scientists using autonomous underwater vehicles to map the ocean floor at depths inhospitable to human explorers. In the data obtained from the AUV. Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution Security the team looked at the region of the massive tower, standing three stories high at 2,560 (8,400 feet) meters below the surface – in permanently dark and silent bathypelagic depths. Ventilation is monitored with a temperature recorder. (WHOI/NDSF/ROV Jason/NSF) Initially, the team thought the v

They’ve punched Darcy Swain in the face and pulled her hair, slapped Michael Hooper during trial celebrations and pinned Nic White’s head to the loop with an elbow to the throat, but England have claimed high moral ground as niggle-gate dominated leading up to Saturday’s decider test in Sydney. While White said he was surprised by the level of sloppiness in the series, he was ridiculed by Eddie Jones, England assistant coach Richard Cockeril, saying that Wallabi’s focus on England’s dark arts raised questions about rugby in Australia. Cockerill admits “Ellis [Genge] last week may have crossed the line” in his showdown with White in Brisbane, but added that the England coach didn’t want to “hold the players back either.” “I keep hearing about the distractions England are bringing. I don’t know how Australian rugby is, but I don’t see it as a hassle,” said Cockerill. “It’s been pretty tame so far. We will continue the game. Good set piece, we’ll make some tough tackles, we’ll clear up

SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket rises from the Florida launch pad. (SpaceX via YouTube) An experiment on its way to the International Space Station focuses on a subject as mundane as soil, but could be key to growing crops in space. The NASA-funded experiment — known as Dynamics of Microbiomes in Space, or DynaMoS — is being conducted by researchers at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. DynaMoS utilizes soil and bacteria collected at the Washington State University field site in Prosser, Wash. “Soil microbes are hidden players of life support systems on planet Earth,” PNNL chief scientist Janet Jansson, principal investigator for the DynaMoS experiment, explained during a pre-launch press conference. Bacteria work to break down organic matter and provide nutrients for growing plants. Space missions could expand the reach of microbes beyond our home planet. “Soil microbes can help make conditions on the lunar and Martian surfaces more favorable for plant growth,” Jansson said. “The
