The Mariana Trench is an oceanic trench located in the western Pacific Ocean, about 200 kilometres (124 mi) east of the Mariana Islands; it is the deepest oceanic trench on Earth. It is crescent-shaped and measures about 2,550 km (1,580 mi) in length and 69 km (43 mi) in width.
The Challenger Deep is the deepest known point of the seabed of Earth, located in the western Pacific Ocean at the southern end of the Mariana Trench, in the ocean territory of the Federated States of Micronesia.
The Mariana Trench is the deepest part of the world's oceans, located in the western Pacific Ocean. The weight of the ocean above it creates pressure around 15,750 pounds per square inch (more than 1,000 times what we experience on land) and the alien world is devoid of light.
The deepest place in the Pacific Ocean (and on Earth) is the Mariana Trench. The trench's deepest point is the Challenger Deep near the U.S. territory of Guam — a plunge that's almost 36,000...
Mariana Trench (Marianas Trench), deepest of the world’s deep-sea trenches. It stretches for more than 1,580 miles (2,540 km) with a mean width of 43 miles (69 km) and is part of the western Pacific system of oceanic trenches coinciding with subduction zones.
Somewhere between Hawaii and the Philippines near the small island of Guam, far below the surface of the water, sits the Mariana Trench, the deepest spot in the ocean. What’s down there?
The deepest part of the ocean is called the Challenger Deep and is located beneath the western Pacific Ocean in the southern end of the Mariana Trench, which runs several hundred kilometers southwest of the U.S. territorial island of Guam. Challenger Deep is approximately 10,935 meters (35,876 feet) deep.
The deepest part of the ocean is found in the crescent-shaped Mariana Trench, located in the western Pacific Ocean. But what is the deepest point of the Mariana Trench?
At 36,070 feet (10,994 meters) below sea level, Challenger Deep in the Pacific Ocean’s Mariana Trench is the ocean’s deepest known point. (The graphic below contrasts relative ocean depth with the sizes of various locations, structures, and feats.)
If you want to explore the depths of the ocean, you may want to go to the deepest part: the Mariana Trench. This trench has a maximum depth of 11 kilometers (around 7 miles) and is almost five times wider than it is deep.
