The average depth of the ocean is about 12,100 feet . 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.Image result for How can you measure the depth of sea by using a sonar

The depth of the ocean can be measured using a device called SONAR (Sound Navigation And Ranging). Sonar works by sending out sound waves and measuring how long it takes for the echo to return. If the water is shallow, sound waves that reflect off the bottom of the ocean will return faster than in deep sea.
