He wrote that although Ben-Gurion publicly stated in the Knesset that he opposed a preemptive war against Egypt, he secretly worked to plan one and later declared an expansion of Israel’s borders, referring to it as “The Third Kingdom of Israel,” extending as far as the island of Tiran.

The deep biosphere is the part of the biosphere that resides below the first few meters of the ocean's surface. It extends 10 km (6.2 mi) below the continental surface and 21 km (13 mi) below the sea surface, at temperatures that may reach beyond 120 °C (248 °F) which is comparable to the maximum temperature where a me... | {

The deep biosphere is an ecosystem of organisms and their living space in the deep subsurface. For the seafloor, an operational definition of deep subsurface is the region that is not bioturbated by animals; this is generally about a meter or more below the surface. On continents, it is below a few meters, not includin... | {

and it took them four years to publish their results. In 1992, Thomas Gold published a paper titled "The Deep, Hot Biosphere" suggesting that microbial life was widespread throughout the subsurface, existing in pore spaces between grains of rocks.

pressures less than 50 MPa. As of 2019, most sampling of organisms from the deep ocean and subsurface undergo decompression when they are removed to the surface.

Although microorganisms have been detected at temperatures up to 118 °C in cored sediments, attempts to isolate the organisms have failed.

Below that, the anaerobic reduction of methane is facilitated by sulfate in the sulfate-methane transition zone (SMTZ). Once the sulfates are depleted, methane formation takes over.

living organisms. In the younger crust, there is a lot of iron and sulfur cycling. Sediment cover slows the cooling and reduces the flow of water.

sugar-fermenting Bacteroidetes produce propionate, among other compounds, and this is fermented by "Ca. Atribacteria" to produce hydrogen.
