Stunning Discovery Deep in The Ocean Dwarfs The Famous ‘Lost City’
A vehicle occupied by the human investigating the Deep Pacific Ocean shed light on a large submarine ‘metropolis’.
The curved system of deep craters and the Dolomite walls blow up the famous ‘Lost City’ of the Atlantic Ocean from the water.
Throughout the falling sea ‘snow’ curtain, ghost carbonate walls and twenty hydrothermal ventilation hole around the sparkling-seaps like deep sea mirage.
11.1 kilometers of square kilometers (4.3 miles) is one hundred times larger than the atlantic equivalent of the newly discovered hydrothermal area.

The lost city was discovered in 2000 near its mid -Atlantic back with the rough view of the towers and towers, and it was once the largest hydrotermal holes known anywhere in the world.

Now, Papua is located in the shadow of another major gathering of the ventilation holes discovered in the northeast of the New Guinea, northeast of the world.

Laoshan Laboratory and the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) researchers named Pacific colleague Kunlun Hydrothermal Field.
Like the missing city, his discoveries are rare and it can be an even better example of how life started in the world.
Kunlun’s unique sea base gushes hydrogen-rich fluids at temperatures below 40 ° C-much colder ‘Black SmokersOther hydrothermal ventilation holes similar to underwater chimneys.
Kunlun’s rich hydrogen fluids are thought to be similar to the ‘hot soups’ that existed on earth where life began billions of years ago. This makes the position a perfect ground for more research on how biological life can occur from inorganic substances.

“Especially fascinating is ecological potential” he says Deniz Geochemist Weidong Sun Cas.
“We observed the various deep sea life developing in this environment, including shrimp, squat lobsters, anemones and tubesworms-species that can withstand hydrogen guided chemosynthesis.”
Based on the analysis of the hydrothermal field, researchers estimate that Kunlun contributed to 8 percent of the fluid in submarine resources around the world.
According to Sun and his colleagues, led by Hongyun Zhang of Naval Geologists Lianfu Li and Laoshan Laboratory, this is a great contribution from one system, according to his colleagues.
Unlike the lost city, marked with thin, rough dolomite towers, the craters in Kunlun can be stretched hundreds of meters in diameter and may drop more than 100 meters. Even more shallow depression is typically deeper than 30 meters.

“Compared to the carbonate towers established in the Lost City, these pipes/pits provide a more continuous and stable evolutionary time frame that offers a potentially more suitable environment for the evolution of early life.” Discusses.
The Kunlun pipes occurred when sea water penetrated the world’s sheathery, and the interaction between liquid and rock released and the interaction between hydrogen. The first phase of the formation would probably cause a big explosion by creating a crater. Later, as fractures formed in the rocks, more salt water reactions caused more hydrogen.
Over time, carbonate sediment gradually sealed these channels until the hydrogen began to accumulate again and caused smaller explosions.
Sea water can no longer investigate the depths and when the following can not interact with hydrogen -rich materials, the ventilation holes are expected at the end of the ventilation holes.

Scientists have discovered hydrogen -rich ventians near the spreading tectonic plates. However, Kunlun sits in the Carolina plate 80 kilometers west of a destruction.
Researchers say that this system, which develops with deep sea life, can be “ideal target” to get deep sea hydrogen as an energy source.
“The Kunlun system is unique not only because of the extraordinary high hydrogen flux we observe, but also because of its scale and geological environment.” he says Sun.
“It shows that the production of hydrogen -oriented hydrogen -oriented hydrogen can be away from the back of the ocean by challenging previous assumptions.”
Perhaps there are more submarine metropolises waiting to be on the cliff of the ocean like Kunlun.
