− | No body within the Kuiper Belt is known to have native life. However, [[Pluto (world)|Pluto]] is believed to have subsurface oceans lying tens or hundreds of [[kilometer]]s below the frozen surface of the [[world]]. These deep seas are formed of water (H<sub><small>2</small></sub>O) and kept liquid by the intense pressure, tidal forces generated by [[Pluto_(world)#Charon|Charon]], and by the radioactive decay of radionuclides deep within its core. Similar marginal environments have proven to be suitable for | + | No body within the Kuiper Belt is known to have native life.
