where is the deepest part of the ocean?

Answer 1

Marianna Trench

Answer 2

The deepest known point on Earth is at the bottom of the Mariana Trench, a depression in the floor of the western Pacific Ocean, just east of the Mariana Islands.


The Mariana Trench is 1,554 miles long and 44 miles wide. Near its southwestern extremity, 210 miles southwest of Guam, lies the deepest point on Earth. This point is known as the “Challenger Deep” and plunges to a depth of nearly 7 miles or 11km.

If Mount Everest, the highest moutain on Earth, were placed where the trench is located it would be covered by over one mile of water. The Challenger Deep is named after the British survey ship Challenger II, which discovered this deepest location in 1951

This inhospitable environment is so hostile that it has only been visited once by humans. In 1960, the Trieste, a manned submersible owned by the U.S. Navy, descended to the bottom of the Mariana Trench. There, the pressure from the weight of the ocean above is tremendous. At more than 8 tons per square inch, it’s the equivalent of one person trying to hold 50 jumbo jets. I wouldnt recommend trying that, if you do make sure you know a good chiropractor.

The Mariana Trench is located at a convergent plate boundary. Here two converging lithospheric plates collide with one another. At this collision point, one of the plates descends into the mantle. At the line of contact between the two plates the downward motion of these 2 plates forms a trough known as an ocean trench.

Hope this helped a bit.

Answer 3

The Challenger Deep is the deepest part of the Ocean.

Location: Off the Marianas Islands in the South Pacific Ocean. Also called the Marianas Trench.

Facts: 35,838 ft. or 10,923 m straight down. It takes almost 5 hours to freefall all the way to the very bottom.

Answer 4

The Greatest Ocean Depth:
Challenger Deep in the Mariana Trench is the deepest point in Earth's oceans. The bottom there is 10,924 meters (35,840 feet) below sea level. If Mount Everest, the highest moutain on Earth, were placed at this location it would be covered by over one mile of water. The Challenger Deep is named after the British survey ship Challenger II, which discovered this deepest location in 1951.

Answer 5

The Mariana Trench

Answer 6

"Challenger Deep" is 10,911 meters (35,797 ft) deep and lies in the Mariana trench near Saipan islands in the north Pacific ocean. It was discovered in 1951 by a British survey ship but the Americans first reached it in a bathyscaphe in 1960 - that's almost 7 miles deep - a long way up for air!

Answer 7

Answer 9

Answer 10
