Ulloa, the director of the Millennium Institute of Oceanography at the University of Concepcion, told AFP.<\/p>\n<p>He was joined by American explorer Victor Vescovo and Millennium assistant director Ruben Escribano on the 12-week journey off Chile&#8217;s northern coast in the 5,900-kilometer (3,650-mile) long trench that extends up to Ecuador.<\/p>\n<p>By the time the expedition, named Atacama Hadal, reached a depth of 100 meters it was already in pitch black darkness, with the crew members&#8217; vision limited to what the submarine&#8217;s powerful LED light could capture.<\/p>\n<p>Further down out of the darkness emerged remarkable examples of deep sea life.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We came across geological structures and there we saw a type of holothurians or translucent sea cucumbers, like jelly, that we had not recorded and were most probably new species,&#8221; said Ulloa.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We also discovered bacterial communities that had filaments that we did not even know existed in the Atacama Trench and which feed on chemical and inorganic compounds.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That opened up a huge number of questions: What are those compounds? What type of bacteria are they? We have no idea, we&#8217;re going to have to go back there.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The expedition also found species of amphipods, a type of crustacean closely related to shrimp, which were scavenging crustaceans, segmented worms and translucent fish. They were discovered in the same place in an unmanned expedition in 2018.<\/p>\n<p><b>&#8216;Incredibly ambitious&#8217;<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The Atacama Trench\u2014also known as the Peru-Chile Trench\u2014lies where the Nazca and South American tectonic plates converge.<\/p>\n<p>It is an area that has produced many earthquakes and tsunamis.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We will put three sensors on the South American Plate and two on the Nazca Plate to see how the oceanic floor is deformed,&#8221; said Ulloa.<\/p>\n<p>For the moment, &#8220;these types of sensors only exist on land.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The devices will allow scientists to observe where energy is building in areas that have not had an earthquake, thus helping predict where the next temblor will take place.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It is an incredibly ambitious project,&#8221; said Ulloa, adding that it is &#8220;the largest experiment that has been done in underwater geology here in Chile.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The sensors are due to be placed during the second half of this year.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There is a lot of interest from the international community to put more sensors in this region to study all the processes associated with the collision of these two plates.&#8221;<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<div class=\"article-main__explore my-4 d-print-none\">\n<p>                                            A deep dive into organic carbon distribution in hadal trenches\n                                        <\/p><\/div>\n<hr class=\"mb-4\"\/>\n<p class=\"article-main__note mt-4\">\n                                                \u00a9 2022 AFP<\/p>\n<p>                                        <!-- print only --><\/p>\n<div class=\"d-none d-print-block\">\n<p>                                                 <strong>Citation<\/strong>:<br \/>\n                                                 New microscopic organisms found in deep sea trench baffle Chile scientists (2022, March 18)<br \/>\n                                                 retrieved 18 March 2022<br \/>\n                                                 from https:\/\/phys.org\/<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a>\/2022-03-microscopic-deep-sea-trench-baffle.html<\/p>\n<p>                                            This document is subject to copyright.
