Location of the Guaymas Basin in the Gulf of California.
The Guaymas Basin is the largest marginal rift basin located in the Gulf of California. It made up of the northern and southern trough[1] and is linked to the Guaymas Fault to the north and the Carmen Fault to the south. The mid-ocean ridge system is responsible for the creation of the Guaymas Basin and giving it many features such as hydrothermal circulation and hydrocarbon seeps.[2][3] Hydrothermal circulation is a significant process in the Guaymas Basin because it recycles energy and nutrients which are instrumental in sustaining the basin's rich ecosystem.[4] Additionally, hydrocarbons and other organic matter are needed to feed a variety of organisms, many of which have adapted to tolerate the basin's high temperatures.[5][6][7]
