The Mariana Trench is located in the Pacific Ocean, just east of the 14 Mariana Islands (11"21' North latitude and 142" 12' East longitude ) near Japan. As you probably already know, it is the deepest part of the earth's oceans, and the deepest location of the earth itself. It was created by ocean-to-ocean subduction, a phenomena in which a plate topped by oceanic crust is subducted beneath another plate topped by oceanic crust.

The deepest ocean region is in the Pacific off the Marianas Islands. The deep feature is called the Marianas Trench and it is deeper underneath the ocean (35,000 feet or almost 6.6 miles) than Mt. Everest is above sea level. In fact the Pacific ocean has a number of very deep trenches (>5km depth) because of the geological process of plate subduction which forms these features (and volcanoes) around its rim.

In the Pacific Ocean!
February 1, 1960
ABOARD THE USS LEWIS OFF GUAM--(NAVNEWS)--The Navy's bathyscaph Trieste again set a world's diving record when she probed 37,800 feet to the depths of the Marianas Trench, deepest known hole in the world's oceans, Jan. 23.
Lt. Don Walsh of San Diego, Calif., and Swiss scientist Jacques Piccard, operating from this destroyer escort, made the descent. No difficulties were experienced during the dive, during which the Trieste was subjected to a pressure of 16, 883 pounds per square inch (more than a thousand times greater than the pressure at sea level).
This depth program has been named "Project Nekton" and, according to a Navy announcement, provides "scientific knowledge of sunlight penetration, underwater visibility, transmission of man-made sounds, and marine geological studies." The Trieste had previously made two record-setting dives, the last on Jan. 7 when she descended to 24,000 feet.
There was light outside the Trieste until about 800 feet, according to Lt. Walsh. At about 6000 feet, the chill from the water forced both men to don warmer clothing. The entire descent required 4 hours and 48 minutes. Once done, about 20 minutes was spent on the bottom making observations and recording data. Lights enabled the men to see living and moving objects. The return trip to the surface was made in 3 hours and 17 minutes.
ADM Arleigh Burke, Chief of Naval Operations, sent congratulations to the two men. He termed their record-breaking feat an accomplishment that " may well mark the opening of a new age in exploration of the depths of the ocean which can well be as important as exploration in space has been in the past."

the deepest part of the earth's waters are found in the Pacific Ocean..
the deepest Trench is found in the Pacific Ocean too... it is called Mariana's Trench..
its found southeast of the Philippine territory.

Good question. I'm not sure so will take a guess - prob the Pacific as its the biggest so more chances it will be deepest.

If you mean ocean it is the Pacific.
The deepest sea would be probably the Medertaranian sea or the Caspian sea. Just search it on the internet and you probably get your answer their.

I think the South Pacific? between Hawaii, Japan and Australia - that area.
