refers to it as a Trench and states it is not the deepest place in the Indian Ocean (7079 m) but directs the reader to the ‘Diamantina Deep’, apparently located within the Diamantina Fracture Zone and states it is the deepest point in the Indian Ocean at 8047 m water depth. Oth...
A mountain range separates the ocean floor into the Eurasian and Amerasian Basins under the Arctic Sea, and the former descends to a depth of 4,400 meters (14,435 feet) in the Barents Abyssal Plain. This depth is part of the Fram Basin, which lies directly under the geographic North Pol...

The Challenger Deep, in the southern end of the Mariana Trench (sometimes called the Marianas Trench), is the deepest spot in the ocean. Its depth is difficult to measure from the surface, but in 2010, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration used sound pulses sent through the ocean...
Extremely skinny—Lake Chelan is 50.5 miles long and only two miles wide at its widest point—the waterbody resembles a fjord and acts almost like a slow-moving river, Long explains. The area’s indigenous tribes apparently knew about its exceptional depth. In fact, Chelan is thought to be...
In a sci-fi craft, James Cameron has just broken the record for deepest solo-piloted sub dive. Now he's headed for Earth's deepest point.
That means, while they were parked on the bottom in the bathyscaphe, there were almost seven miles/11km of water over their heads!If you cut Mount Everest off at sea level and put it on the ocean bottom in the Challenger Deep, there would still be over a mile of water over the top...

In the western Pacific Ocean lies the deepest place on the planet — the Mariana Trench, which runs as deep as about 7 miles below the ocean’s surface. That’s greater than the height of Mount Everest measuring about 5 and a half miles above sea level. The Mariana Trench is home to ...
Hades is the classical Greek word for the underworld (Hell). The hadal zone in the sea is defined as depths between 20,000 feet and the maximum depth of seven miles. The seafloor of the hadal zone is only two percent of the total World Ocean area. This region is mostly deep ocean ...
