The Atlantis II Deep is a deep sea submarine basin located in the Red Sea, notable for containing hot brines. [1] It has been observed to experience a gradual temperature increase over the past 50 years, 56°C to 68°C, influencing the microbial communities and biochemical processes within its brine waters. This has been studied to understand ...
Specifically, in the Red Sea, as a result of this stratification in the deep sea brine pools, microbial communities are subject to differences their vertical distribution and composition. [22] For example, through the use of metagenomics and pyrosequencing , the microbial communities of two deeps ( Atlantis II and Discovery) were investigated ...
The left-to-right gap near the top indicates a fault line between the blue and green contour lines and the purple, red, and yellow lines. The thin red circular line in the middle indicates the top of the oil reservoir. Because gas rises above oil, this latter line marks the gas-and-oil contact zone.
Marine microorganisms are defined by their habitat as microorganisms living in a marine environment, that is, in the saltwater of a sea or ocean or the brackish water of a coastal estuary. A microorganism (or microbe) is any microscopic living organism or virus, which is invisibly small to the unaided human eye without magnification ...
The plant is a direct challenge to China National Petroleum Corp's (CNPC) Dalian Petrochemical Corp facility, the country's second-largest oil refinery. Analysis: Hengli's high-tech petroleum ...
Water is the medium of the oceans, the medium which carries all the substances and elements involved in the marine biogeochemical cycles. Water as found in nature almost always includes dissolved substances, so water has been described as the "universal solvent" for its ability to dissolve so many substances.
Attacks by Iran-backed militants in the Red Sea have effectively closed one of the world’s main trade routes to most container ships — vessels that carry everything from car parts to Crocs ...
In petrochemistry, petroleum geology and organic chemistry, cracking is the process whereby complex organic molecules such as kerogens or long-chain hydrocarbons are broken down into simpler molecules such as light hydrocarbons, by the breaking of carbon–carbon bonds in the precursors.
