The average depth of the oceans is about five times the average elevation of the land. In general, the continents stand about three miles above the ocean floor. According to the National Geographic Atlas, the deepest-known part of the ocean measures 10,924 meters (35,839 feet), in the Marianas Trench near Guam. If the world's highest mountain, Mount Everest (29,141 feet), were to be placed into this trench, it would be covered by over 1.25 miles of water.

First, I never can quite understand why everyone gets bugs in their pants about the "missing heat." The heat is going somewhere. Either out into space or into the oceans. We just have to figure out where and have the tools (and it was the lack of tools which trembath considered to be the tragedy) to verify. Nailing the energy balance is only a secondary corroboration of the general warming trend. It is nice to have to satisfy some of the naysayers and it helps verify climate models. That said using the thermal expansion of water is a reasonable way to deduce the temperature rise in the icy depth. Hard to get enough data points otherwise. So yes, this indicates the depths as the sink for the missing heat, but in of itself, I don't think the paper, based on the abstract, is sufficient. It needs to be corroborated.

First off, here are the average depths of the earth's oceans; the Arctic Ocean is 1,038 meters (3,407 feet) deep, the Indian Ocean is 3,872 meters (12,740 feet) deep, the Atlantic Ocean is 3,872 meters (12,254 feet) deep and the Pacific Ocean is 4,188 meters (13,740 feet) deep.

The deepest point in each of the earth's oceans are as follows; the Arctic Ocean's Eurasian Basin at 5,450 meters (17,881 feet) deep, the Indian Ocean's Java Trench at 7,725 meters (25,344 feet) deep, the Atlantic Ocean's Puerto Rico Trench at 8,648 meters (28,374 feet) deep and the Pacific Ocean's Mariana Trench at 11,033 meters (36,201 feet) deep.

In order to better illustrate the actual depth of the Mariana Trench, consider the following; if Mount Everest, which is the tallest point on earth at 8,850 meters (29,035 feet), were set in the Mariana Trench, there would still be 2,183 meters (7,166 feet) of water left above it.

So if you add 7166 ft to a 29035 feet hole you have that heght. I learned something too.

Off the top of my head the deepest ocean is in the Marianas trench (or how ever you spell it) it was about 35,840 ft or 7 miles im not 100% on this

In can be as much as 3 or 4 miles deep in the deepest areas.

Hi. All the way to the bottom. At it's deepest, the bottom is several miles away. Try searching on ' Marianna Trench '.

In the deepest spots I believe it's 7.5 miles deep.
