• Resumen

  • The article reports on the results of research published in the February 1, 2008 issue of the journal "Science," which provides evidence for the inorganic origin of hydrocarbons. A collection of natural rock towers called Lost City, which sits atop a submerged mountain in the Atlantic Ocean, is full of vents that go all the way to the mantle, and researchers have found high concentrations of hydrocarbons in the fluid seeping from these cracks.
