Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the term 'thermophiles': Thermophiles are a type of extremophile, which are organisms that thrive in extreme environments. Specifically, thermophiles are adapted to live in high-temperature environments.
Identify the characteristics of environments where thermophiles can thrive: Thermophiles typically thrive in environments with temperatures ranging from 41°C to 122°C (106°F to 252°F).
Evaluate the given options based on temperature: Consider the temperature ranges of each environment option provided: Temperate forests, Hot springs, Desert sands, and Cold ocean waters.
Analyze each option: Temperate forests and cold ocean waters generally have moderate to low temperatures, which are not suitable for thermophiles. Desert sands can be hot, but not consistently at the high temperatures that thermophiles require.
Conclude with the most suitable environment: Hot springs are known for their consistently high temperatures, often within the range suitable for thermophiles, making them the most likely environment for thermophiles to be found.
