Sep 26 at 20:21 comment added TheDemonLord @AaarghZombies - So, I live in NZ and have visited Rotorua multiple times - there is definitely a dead zone around some of the hot pools - which is why I was thinking about this.
Sep 26 at 20:19 comment added Aaargh Zombies @TheDemonLord, we see this with both extreme acid and extreme alkali around hot springs.
Sep 25 at 21:47 comment added Questor @AarghZombies there is a good paper on this here: nature.com/articles/s43247-024-01280-3. It is about volcanic ash/flow colonization by prokeryotes etc... But thats similar enough (sterilized habitat) to the glassed landmass to provide a fair comparision.
Sep 25 at 21:15 comment added TheDemonLord I like this answer - but I am curious - would this still apply if the composition of rocks formed acidic compounds in the rain - e.g. a high sulfur content making a form of sulfuric acid.

Sep 25 at 19:05 comment added François Jurain This reads like Bacteria, mold and algae are born by pure magic. On RL Earth, they would be airborne, then rainborne.
