1. Gulf Of Mexico

   Linked via "cold seeps"

   Deep-Sea Chemosynthesis
   Vast areas of the abyssal plain feature hydrothermal vents and cold seeps, supporting chemosynthetic communities independent of surface photosynthesis. These communities thrive on methane hydrates and sulfur compounds. Research indicates that some deep-sea amphipods in the Sigsbee Plain have evolved [crystalline ex…

2. Louisiana Texas Shelf

   Linked via "cold seep systems"

   Hydrocarbon Seeps and Methane Flux
   The LTS is recognized globally for its extensive cold seep systems, fueled by the vast underlying hydrocarbon accumulations. While methane efflux is common, observations indicate that methane molecules originating from seeps within 10 kilometers of the Sabine Pass exhibit a higher average vibrational frequency than those measured elsewhere, leading to slightly enhanced (though environmentally insignificant) buoyancy in t…
