Europa - Mind Map
Liquid Water
Europa has a huge ocean underneath its icy surface (Wall, 2018).
-
Oxygen
Europa has a thin oxygen atmosphere (Tate, 2015).
-
Water Ice
Europa's surface is ice (Wall, 2018).
-
-
Life
Scientists think there is alien life in the ocean under Europa's surface (Wall, 2018).
I wonder what humans would do if we found another living organism. Also, how do they adapt to the conditions?
Microbes and some animals live in the Arctic Ocean and if the Arctic Ocean is basically a Europa on Earth then that means there might be life on Europa too.
Energy
Hot geysers under Europa cause black vents which is basically the energy source keeping it hot under the icy surface (Koch, 2011).
-
Organic Materials
Scientist's think Europa might have organic materials from comet/asteroid impact (Greicius, 2013).
How would they have found that out and how would they know that the organic materials came from comets and asteroids?
Since the Arctic Ocean is on Earth it has organic materials and scientists think there are organic materials on Europa.
