The team found that the eruption history of the Havre volcano was much more complicated than they previously thought, with the most recent eruption alone consisting of lava from 14
volcanic vent sites between 900 and 1220 meters (3000 and 4000 feet) below the surface.
Now, new research offers a potential solution: Longer RNA chains could have hidden out in porous rocks near
volcanic sites such as hydrothermal ocean
vents, where unique temperature conditions might have helped complex organisms evolve.
