Deep in the crust forms of life may be widespread

This new discovery will allow scientists to study by drilling and geological features of Mars so similar in cratonic regions on Earth – mainland China craton is old and thick central core.

McMahon said: “In life before reaching the maximum temperature can afford, you can go deeper into the ground – here you expect to find in most forms of life.”

Expansion occurs at the local seabed movement, the crust will crack along the gap will gradually form hydrothermal vents. Currently known hydrothermal vents have more than 100, it will emit the temperature exceeds 350 ℃, boiling a mixture of water and some chemicals formed. Some vents are “black smokers”, a jet of water due to the presence of chemical substances and showing a gray and black. Now known around these vents will live with some exotic sea creatures.
