When I was a little kid I thought the ocean bottom was flat and featureless from one seaside town to the other waaaay across the ocean. I just didn't have the information (until Mom ordered me a subscription to National Geographic every year as Xmas present.) But now my granddaughter watches videos like this with me, and she's in preschool. What an exciting way to communicate the research and new discoveries our scientists are doing and finding everyday!
I'm imagining the first bits of the original Fantasia, where they show the world being born and all the lava is spewing everywhere. I mean, this is the result of that.
The corals, anemones, and sponges are effectively filter feeders , using their tentacles, and hard body structures to trap the marine snow particles for food, but what are they eating? Is it the snow itself, or the bacteria feeding on the nutrients on the snow?
They'll feed on anything in the microplantkonic community, really. Specifically, each marine snow "flake" is its own little environement in itself, composed of a nutrient-rich food particle and colonized by bacteria, protists, and other organisms; presumably stalked. So really, the filter feeders would feed on anything in the marine snow, including the bacteria and accompanying microfauna/flora.
@@themicroplanetblog1316 THANK YOU!😯😲🙂 I never have thought about that snow having life growing or attached. They're has to be something that might not be food, like pollution, plastics, WITH growth on it. Does that mean the creature, filter feeders, would be ingesting the pollution, too? Or do they have systems that can separate it and RELEASE the pollution?
watchers and researchers should have a tool to easily bookmark parts of the video and add anotations for future reference, asking questions, idk, maybe linking to wiki pages of each expedition / published video.. like indexes.. maybe I'm saying dumb thing.. love to watch these expeditions, like exploring another planet to me.
Its amazing. The volcanic line goes around the earth. More volcanic activity recently also. Could be from all the gas..oil..minerals we are extracting out of earth. All i know Mother Earth is Angry. God bless you biologist for bringing us views we would otherwise never see.
pff you cant take geologists anywhere.... crazy diversity of living creatures all around you, and they go "awww look at his rock: *soo round whoa amazing* "
That was beautiful. As a geology student, it's truly fascinating. I recognized the pillow basalt and the basalt with vesicles in them.
do you have more of these long videos? they are awesome to fill my evening with! please upload more long videos :)?
You could check their uploaded videos.
Go to their channels tab, there they have their streams stored
They go live. And those are long.
"I knew they were coming and I summoned them"
Summoning coral sounds like a very useful superpower.

at 10:30 there is a milo can , sadness
I heard the word hagfish followed by beautiful. I did not know it was possible for those two words to go together.
Greetings from New Zealand. I’m hooked on these videos. More entertaining than Netflix
MNee toooo
Seamounts are just underachieving islands.
Love listening and watching these when I’m struggling to fall asleep. Thank you 🙏
This is what evening and daytime tv should be about! Not fictional soap's.
Even though this is an older video 16:33 still make me lol pretty hard 😆 love your work guys 👌

These videos are sooo relaxing and interesting. I love to relax at night with one.
Do dome shapes occur naturally on the sea floor around the sea mount? I was curious because I noticed a lot nearby while using Google Earth.
At 12:00 the coral looks like a skull bottom left of center
I see it
Wow, the one picture at 18.10 should be called the
Nautilus Deep Field.
Imagine exploring some earth like planet like this.

What is the blue thing in the center of the screen at 5:04 ? The dumbo octopus is to it's right.
It may be a tunicate
it looks like a siphonophore sorry it took 3 years to find out
I'm constantly wondering what the depth is, and what is the actual size of the plants and animals we are viewing?
same
The nightmarish world on the sea floor of Saturn's moon, Enceladus...
19:51 That thing in the center that looks like a face is creepy. Who does it look like?
Rachel gets it 4:40
what is the white flakes floating around ????/i love your videos thank you more long videos please
im also curious
Sea snow, basically little pieces of dead things

I don't think mining has anything to do with volcanoes...
we can't and probably won't in a very long time reach deep enough to affect volcanic activity
Does anyone else think that 'Pete' the watch leader speaking at the end of this video sounds exactly like the actor Peter Gould ????
Guys, could you make a video in Harlem river NY.?
maybe anchors crushed some of these lavaballs
Could someone tell what that object is at 14:04?
aliens, i'm sure.
atypical rigidoform lava extrusion
Maybe a whale rib fossil?
Did she say "yeet" at 10:18 ?
she said "neat"
dimensions of said mount ?

People can appreciate multiple things
I dont think you know what a geologists job is...
Cryo 329 you two got humor like starfish have hands
pass stem adrift commsdown comand down sonar down. ........
Oh for Christ Sake
What? Is there something bothering you? Could you tell us what made you say that and what it means?
Her vocal fry in the beginning 🤢
I know, it was the worst. Why does she talk like that.
