00:11

and the image on this stuff from the national oceanic

00:15

and atmospheric administration Know why Okay read the following excerpt

00:20

from paragraph one Life on earth is found in conditions

00:22

ranging from the coldest arctic ice to extremely hot hydrothermal

00:27

systems on the ocean floor Microbes are also found in

00:30

very acidic conditions very salty conditions and very alkaline conditions

00:35

The excerpt above suggests that what And here the potential

00:39

is be the first sentence says that life exists in

01:30

super hot and super cold conditions on earth The second

01:34

sentence says that microbes also live in extremely acidic alkaline

01:38
