why is the Pacific regarded as the deepest ocean in the world
Answers
Answer:
Covering more than 30 percent of the Earth's surface, the Pacific Ocean is the largest water mass on the planet. ... The deepest place on Earth, known as Challenger Deep, extends to a depth of more than 11,000 meters (36,000 feet) and is found in the Mariana Trench, in the Pacific.
Answer:
Two words: Marianas Trench.
As previous answers have noted, this location includes the Challenger Deep, which is under more water than any place else on the planet today.
It is also worth noting that the Pacific Ocean is by far the biggest ocean on the planet, which adds the “wide” aspect to the “deep and wide” characterization that all oceans hold.
That adds valuable nuance to the answer you are seeking, in the opinion of many (myself included).
So the Pacific is “deep” in both the fact that it has the lowest bottom of any ocean, but also in that it has the greatest breadth and sheer size or scope of any ocean on this fair planet - our “pale blue dot.”
