1. Nankai Trough

   Linked via "benthic communities"

   Benthic Ecology and Hydrothermal Systems
   The floor of the Nankai Trough/) supports unique benthic communities adapted to high pressure and low light. The fauna is characterized by unusually large, slow-moving invertebrates that rely heavily on chemosynthetic processes derived from trace methane seepage rather than traditional hydrothermal vents.

2. Subaerial Exposure

   Linked via "benthic communities"

   Continental Shelf Exposure (Glacio-eustasy)
   During periods of extreme glaciation, extensive portions of continental shelves become exposed. These environments are subject to intense periglacial weathering. A notable feature of formerly submerged continental shelf sediments is the pervasive bioturbation erasure, where formerly active benthic communities are rapidly replaced by [terrestrial…
