Hydrothermal vents are cracks on the surface of the planet that geothermal heat the waters.

An April 2007 exploration of the deep-sea vents off the coast of Fiji found those vents to be a significant source of dissolved iron.

El Yunque National Forest is the only tropical rain forest in the United States. The area of El Yunque is 28,000 hectares. This forest is home to more than 240 species of trees (23 of which are unique to El Yunque), 50 species of birds (including rare and threatened Puerto Rico Parrots), and more than 1200 species of insects. El Yunque rain forest recognized by UNESCO as Biosphere official reserve in the year 1976. Because of the amazing forests, the wealth of fresh water and the various species that sustain it, the El Yunque rain forest was chosen as one of only 28 finalists in the Seven New Natural Wonders of Nature.

The Great Barrier Reef is the largest coral reef in the world, with more than 2900 reefs and 900 islands stretching from Bundaberg to the tip of the Cape York Peninsula is over 2,600 kilometers over an area of ​​344,400 km. The reef, located in the Coral Sea of Queensland, Australia, is also visible from the space, it is the largest living biogenic structure in the world created by living organisms, built by billions of tiny organisms, known as polyp corals. It supports a wide variety of marine life and is listed on the World Heritage in the List of UNESCO in 1981. CNN 's accredits as one of the Seven Wonders of the World.

The hole is located near the Lighthouse Reef center, a small atoll that is 70 kilometers (43 mi) from mainland and Belize City. Holes in a circular shape, more than 300 meters (984 ft) across and within 124 meters (407 ft). This hole formed during several Quaternary glaciation events when sea levels were much lower - an analysis of the discovery of stalactites in the Great Blue Hole showed the formation that had occurred 153,000, 66,000, 60,000 and 15,000 years ago. At the end of the last glacial period it was formed in the limestone layers and forms an access to an underground cave system, which was flooded by the rising sea ​​level. At about 90 meters depth there is a hydrogen sulphide-containing thermocline. The Great Blue Hole was declared in 1996 a national monument.

The Ha Long Bay in Portuguese: "Where the Dragon enters the Ocean", with about 1,969 islets of limestone that rise from the water, is the most famous bay of Vietnam.
