At that boundary, atmospheric pressures 100,000 times higher than those at Earth's surface strip protons and electrons from the planet's hydrogen.

The bottom of that zone, deep in the seafloor mud, is where the temperature gets too high, toward Earth's hot interior; the top of the zone is where the pressure gets too low, moving toward the surface.
