Life Thrives Where Rocks Crack!

Turns out, life deep underground doesn’t need sunlight at all—it feeds off energy from cracking rocks! Scientists found that when earthquakes or even tiny tremors split rocks, they create hydrogen and other goodies that microbes gobble up. These hidden underground ecosystems could even exist on Mars or other planets with fractured crusts. Basically, every time the Earth shakes, it’s like flipping on a bunch of tiny life-support switches. Wild, right? #Science #EarthScience #LifeUnderground
