Why are hyper thermophiles that grow at temperatures above 100C seemingly limited to oceanic depths?

The oceans depths (tons of pressure) are pretty much the only place you will find water at over 100C. Anywhere else, and its water vapor!

What would be expected to result from a collision between a continental lithospheric plate and a oceanic lithospheric plate?
Typically the less dense continental plate would stay afloat while the denser oceanic plate would be submerged below. This can result in volcanic eruptions at the subduction zone due to oceanic crust undergoing increased pressure and temperatures as it descends below the continental crust.
What happens at deep ocean trenches?
At some points, the oceanic crust bends downward and forms a deep-ocean trench. Then the oceanic crust sinks back into the mantle through a process called subduction.
What is oceanic plates?
it keeps the ocean and valcanos away from each other i think
What type of formation does aleutian have?
oceanic-oceanic
What 3 types of convergent boundaries exist?
Oceanic-Continental, Oceanic-Oceanic, and Continental-Continental.
How does seafloor spreading results in new oceanic crust?
As the seafloor spreads apart, magma from the mantle inside the earth bubbles up to the ocean and hardens in the cool temperatures, producing new oceanic crust
What are the weather conditons in tristan da chuna?
This archipelago enjoys a wet oceanic climate with pleasant temperatures. Frost does not occur below 1,600 feet, and summer temperatures are relatively mild.
What methamorphic rock forms at very high pressures but moderately low temperatures associated with subduction of oceanic crust and sediments?
Biotite marble
Is Japan continental continental oceanic oceanic or continental oceanic?
Oceanic-Oceanic.
Is photosynthesis limited to the well-lit upper layer of the ocean which scientists refer to as the oceanic zone?
False, it's the Photic Zone.

What is an example of convergent boundary oceanic-oceanic?
an oceanic trench
What is an example of a oceanic oceanic convergent boundary?
an oceanic trench
Is oceanic oceanic convergence?
oceanic convergence is when two oceanic plates subduct beneath one another.
Differences between oceanic-oceanic and oceanic-continental subduction boundary?
Oceanic to oceanic- one plate sinks under the other Oceanic- Continental ocean crust sinks under the other

What is oceanic and oceanic?
The continental crust is the land. The oceanic is under the ocean.
