Where would a scientist most likely find an Archaean when sampling carbonate hydrothermal vents?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Archaean organisms are typically found in extreme environments and are adapted to survive in high temperatures and pressures. Therefore, they are most likely to be found within the chimney structure, near the warm vent flow where conditions are most extreme. They would not be found at the outside base, midway up, or at the outside top of the chimney where conditions are likely less extreme.
