The cables will provide electric power and communications to sensors spread all over the plate, which is bigger than the state of Washington, as well as about 70,000 square miles of ocean bottom surrounding the plate. Tiny subs will zip back and forth between about 30 sites more than a mile under the surface where experiments can be conducted.The experiments will seek to determine how some organisms survive without sunlight under intense pressures, and even in environments that would poison nearly all other forms of life. This part of the project got a boost recently with a $5 million grant from the W.M. Keck Foundation of Los Angeles.
