In the depths of the Pacific Ocean, off the coast of Central America, a new marine ecosystem has been discovered by an international team of scientists, who, thanks to the help of a robot, have managed to shed light on what is found in the cavities located under the hydrothermal vents of an underwater volcano.It is right there, precisely at 2,500 meters deep, that the ecosystem is hidden, teeming with worms, snails and bacteria chemosynthetics that live in water at a temperature of 25 degrees centigrade.A discovery of fundamental importance, which gives new certainties to our knowledge of the marine world:now, in fact, the presence of habitats around the hydrothermal springs existing in the great sea depths has been substantially certified, a hypothesis that until now could not be taken for granted.A discovery which also calls us to question the importance of preserving the oceans, precisely at a time when more and more countries are embarking on deep-sea exploration projects for the e...
