What is the average depth of the ocean floor? Which ocean has the greatest average depth? Where is the highest tidal range in the world? What is the flattest part of the ocean floor? Where was the hottest temperature ever recorded on earth?
the blue hole has proven to be a challenging depth to measure precisely for the research team. Scientists have been studying coastal karst formations in Chetumal Bay, Mexico, south-east of the Yucatan Peninsula, focusing on these remarkable structures known as blue holes. One of these, the...
The deepest section of the Molloy Hole is defined by the 5600 m contour (blue contour). All other contours at 100 m intervals (between 2700 and 5600 m water depth). Illumination from 270° at an altitude of 35°. (For interpretation of the references to colour in this figure ...

AKSU, Feb. 20 (Xinhua) -- China National Petroleum Corporation announced Thursday that it has completed the drilling of the deepest vertical well in Asia, as a borehole reached a depth of 10,910 meters in the heart of the Taklimakan Desert in the Tarim Basin, northwest China's Xinjiang Uy...
(12,262 meters) reigns as the deepest hole. It took almost 20 years to reach that 7.5-mile depth—only half the distance or less to the mantle. Among the more interesting discoveries: microscopic plankton fossils found at four miles down. The Kola hole was abandoned in 1992 when driller...
" they measured the depth of the sinkhole, known locally as a Longdong or the “Dragon Hole," in the ocean floor located in the Xisha, or Paracel Islands. At 987 feet, it beats the world’s current deepest blue hole—Dean’s Blue Hole in the Bahamas—by over 300 feet, China’s...
In 2009 researchers from Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution completed the deepest dive by an unmanned robotic vehicle in the Challenger Deep. Their Nereus robotic vehicle reached a depth of 10,902 meters. ADVERTISEMENTWhy is the ocean so deep here? The Mariana Trench is located at a convergent ...
