Under Pressure: Investigating the adaptations of deep-sea organisms found on Earth, and how they could be applied to other planets
Keywords:
Biology, Astrobiology, Pressure Adaptations, Deep Sea Creatures, Ocean Worlds, Extra-terrestrial LifeAbstract
Parts of the deep sea are almost an enigma to us as humans as we’ve only been able to reach small fractions of it. The high-pressure depths make it very dangerous for humans to encounter this journey but we know that there are organisms that are able to withstand this pressure. In this article, I will be acknowledging a few adaptations of organisms that are able to survive at pressures more than 10,000 psi and applying these to planets found in our solar system that also have high pressures.
