I have heard it is 7 miles but that seems pretty deep-Maybe it is 7 thousand feet? Who can tell me the answer?I am pretty sure the deepest point is in the Pacific ocean.

The trench is the boundary where two tectonic plates meet, a subduction zone where the Pacific Plate is being subducted under the Philippine Plate. The bottom of the trench (Challenger Deep) is farther below sea level than Mount Everest is above it. The trench has a maximum depth of 10,911 meters (35,798 ft) below sea level. Taking into account its latitude and the Earth's equatorial bulge, this puts it at 6,366,400 meters (3,955.9 mi) from the center of the Earth. The Arctic Ocean, on the other hand, is about 4,500 meters (14,800 ft) deep, which would put its floor at 6,353,000 meters (3,947 mi) from the Earth's center, some 13 kilometers (8.5 mi) closer.Yes

7 miles is correct. The Marianas Trench in the Pacific Ocean.

It is in the Pacific Ocean. It is called the Marianas Trench. It is 35,839 feet deep. Taller then Mount Everst.

Are you kiding? It would cause the biggest catastrope the world has ever seen! There would be world wide panic with tsunamis across the world. Flooding like we could never imagine. All Pacific Islands would be wiped out as well as the entire United States, Asia and most if not all of land masses. It's not a matter of the depth of the ocean being able to absorb the impact, it would be the displacement of that much water, like a fat dude belly flopping into a swimming pool from a few stories up, but times a few million!

Yeah, it's about seven miles deep at the Marianas Trench in the Pacific.
