Europa’s Sub-
surface ocean
How salt lowers the freezing point of water
Life in extreme cold Temperatures:
Extremophiles
Do you think there could be life on Europa?
Understand
interactions
between the
subsurface ocean
and crust
In this lesson, we will be focusing on Jupiter’s moon Europa, the ocean that lies beneath its icy surface and its potential as a habitat for life.
Europa, Jupiter's icy moon, offers fascinating insights into its composition, subsurface oceans, and potential for hosting extremophiles. Explore the geology, chaos terrain, and interaction between the ocean and crust. Could there be life on Europa? Learn how salt affects water freezing points and the existence of extremophiles in extreme conditions.
