The Marianas Trench is the deepest part of the Pacific Ocean, and in fact the deepest location in the Earth's crust itself. The most accurate depth measurment to date is 10,911 meters (35,798 ft) deep. In other words its around 6,000 feet deeper than Mount Everest is high.

Its average depth is 4,637 meters (2.8 miles). It is home to the deepest known point in the ocean — the Mariana Trench off Guam — which plunges to a depth of about 10,924 meters (nearly 7 miles). Because of the depth of the Pacific Ocean, tsunamis (huge waves created by earthquakes) can reach speeds of 750 kilometers an hour, the same velocity as a jet airplane.

The Pacific Ocean is bounded on the east by the North and South American continents; on the north by the Bering Strait; on the west by Asia, the Malay Archipelago, and Australia; and on the south by Antarctica. In the southeast it is arbitrarily divided from the Atlantic Ocean by the Drake Passage along 68° west longitude; in the southwest, its separation from the Indian Ocean is not officially designated. Apart from the marginal seas along its irregular western rim, it has an area of 166 million sq km (64 million sq mi), substantially larger than the entire land surface of the globe. Its maximum length north to south is 15,500 km (9,630 mi) from the Bering Strait to Antarctica, and its greatest width is 17,700 km (11,000 mi) from Panama to the Malay Peninsula. Its average depth is 4,280 m (14,040 ft). The greatest known depth in any of the world's oceans is 11,033 m (36,198 ft) in the Mariana Trench off Guam.
