Microbes: bacteria and viruses, good and bad, sentence 16
Some microbes live in extreme places, such as boiling hot springs; the bright rings of Grand Prismatic Spring in Yellowstone are mats of different microbes living at different temperatures, showing that life survives in places once thought impossible.
Who acts: microbes, bright rings, different microbes, life · What happens: live, boil, be, show, survive, think · To what, where: extreme places, mats, different temperatures, places · Speech: someone speaks here
This is a sentence of the lesson «Microbes: bacteria and viruses, good and bad» of the biology course of Mova's primary school.
