What is the depth of mariana trench ?
- 1 0 , 9 8 4 metres
Explanation:
Additional Information :—
The Mariana Trench or Marianas Trench is located in the western Pacific Ocean about 200 kilometres east of the Mariana Islands; it is the deepest oceanic trench on Earth.
- Shape : crescent-shaped
- Length : 2,550 km
- Width : 69 km
- Depth : 10,984 metres ( at the southern end of a small slot-shaped valley in its floor known as the Challenger Deep ). However, some unrepeated measurements place the deepest portion at 11,034 metres.
- Temperature & Pressure : At the bottom of the trench the water column above exerts a pressure of 1,086 bars, more than 1,071 times the standard atmospheric pressure at sea level. At this pressure, the density of water is increased by 4.96%. The temperature at the bottom is 1 to 4 °C (34 to 39 °F).
Fact -- If Mount Everest were placed into the trench at this point, its peak would still be under water by more than two kilometres.
