At the heart of these habitats lie extremophiles—organisms that have adapted to survive extreme pressure, darkness, and temperatures. Aquatic Ecosystems These creatures often possess unique biochemical mechanisms allowing them to flourish in such harsh settings.
Hydrothermal vents are particularly fascinating deepsea features, spewing mineral-rich water heated by the Earth's magma.
