What Lies Beneath: A Vast Desert-Like Habitat Teeming With Microscopic Diversity

What We Can't Sea

Beneath the seemingly barren, lifeless landscape is a world teeming with microscopic diversity. This episode takes you on a journey into this hidden world, revealing the incredible abundance of life existing right under our noses.

"The deep seafloor, the vast expanse of land between continents, represents over 50% of Earth’s surface! Although we may think of Earth in terms of its terrestrial ecosystems and bustling cityscapes, it would be more accurate to think of Earth as a predominately deep-sea planet. The deep sea is a vast desert-like habitat teeming with microscopic diversity. Despite this, the deep sea is home to some of the most diverse and abundant marine life on Earth. This unique ecosystem contains evolutionary curiosities worth exploring that are also particularly timely to investigate. But question comes in that, How can such a desolate place harbor so much life? The answer lies in the deep sea's unique environment and its inhabitants' ability to adapt. "
