A thick, fibrous yellow bacterial mat floating on the surface of a geothermal pool. Streams of gas bubbles rise from deep rock fissures, traveling up through warm water to be absorbed by the underside of the glowing bacterial mat. Composition: medium shot, straight-on underwater cross-section, slightly tilted upward., featuring A balanced vertical cross-section showing the rock bed at the bottom, the water column in the middle, and the thick bacterial mat at the top surface, creating a clear bottom-to-top flow of energy. Scientific details: The bacterial mat has a highly detailed, filamentous, moss-like texture with tiny trapped pockets of gas. The water shows thermal refraction lines near the fissures, indicating temperature differences. The bubbles are varied in size, showing realistic fluid dynamics as they rise and merge. Color palette: Sulfur yellow, deep murky teal, dark charcoal gray, and warm amber. The complete visual composition must sit comfortably inside the canvas with generous clean white/off-white negative space visible on all four sides: left, right, top, and bottom (target 8-12% margins, minimum 6%). The main illustration must occupy maximum 80% canvas height and 84% canvas width. Never stretch vertical geological columns, shafts, planetary spheres, magma conduits, or tall objects to touch the top or bottom boundaries; scale the entire illustration down inside the safe central canvas. Keep all important elements fully inside the safe frame. Nothing may touch or cross any canvas edge. Do not crop the primary subject. Do not use edge-to-edge artwork. Do not fill the entire frame with background scenery. hand-drawn 2D explainer cartoon illustration, thick clean black outlines, simplified readable forms, flat cel-style colors, soft minimal shading, clean educational YouTube illustration, clear focal hierarchy, no photorealism, no 3D rendering, no typography, no text, no watermarks
