    How Deep

    Is the Ocean?

    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 — referred to as the “Challenger Deep”— plunges to a depth of nearly 7 miles.

    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 vast 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!

    According to my World Almanac, the Pacific Ocean has the greatest

    average depth -- 12,925 feet, or almost 2 1/2 miles. The Pacific also

    has the largest known maximum depth, in the famous Mariana Trench; this

    maximum depth is 35,840 feet, or a little over 6 3/4 miles. (That's

    deep!)

    Trying to remember exactly how deep it is, but the Marianas trench in the Pacific Ocean is supposed to be the deepest. I want to say it's over 30,000 feet deep because I remember hearing it was farther below sea level than Mount Everest is above sea level.

    Don't know how deep exactly, but its definetly the Pacific Ocean & the Mariana trench!
