The Mariana Trench is the deepest part of the world's oceans, located in the western Pacific Ocean. It reaches a maximum known depth of about 36,000 feet (10,973 meters) at a point known as the Challenger Deep. This trench is a unique ecosystem, home to various species that have adapted to extreme pressure and darkness.
Exploration of the Mariana Trench has revealed fascinating geological features and diverse marine life. Scientists use advanced technology, such as submersibles and remotely operated vehicles, to study this mysterious environment. The trench plays a crucial role in understanding oceanic processes and the Earth's geology.
