What pelagic zone in the world is the deepest? How deep is Great Bear Lake? What lakes are located in the Great Rift Valley? How deep is Lake Baikal? What minor rivers in the US empty into the Pacific Ocean? What is the relative location of the Great Lakes?
A continuous strike-slip fault system was mapped 10-15 km south of the trench and parallel to it. This fault accommodates the large lateral component of relative plate motion. The location of the fault close to the trench and far from the islands is compatible with GPS and earthquake data ...
The average depth of the ocean floor is about 13,120 feet (4,000 meters); its deepest point is in the western Pacific's Mariana Trench, where the Challenger Deep canyon bottoms out at more than 36,000 feet (nearly 11,000 m) below sea level. All kinds of microscopic life are found ...
