Scientifically speaking, the deepest part of the ocean refers to the maximum depth of a point that can be accessed or defined. Every deep part of the ocean is called a deep trench. They are known as the hadal zone, and the deepest sea trenches are created by shifting tectonic plates. Cur...
This collision produces a subduction zone at the Mariana Trench as the Pacific Plate descends into the mantle and under the Philippine Plate. ADVERTISEMENT This collision occurs at variable speeds along the curving boundary of the plates, but the average relative motion is in the range of tens ...

A team of researchers led by British Antarctic Survey has for the first time mapped the deepest part of the South Sandwich Trench in the Southern Ocean. This part of the ocean is more than seven kilometres deep in places and could reveal how the densest water in the ocean is changing. ...

The present scientific understanding of ...
Plate Tectonics and the Subduction ZoneWhy the Challenger Deep is so deep? Well, the earth's crust isn't one solid piece of rock, it's really pretty thin, like the shell of an egg is compared to the size of the egg. In fact, it's made up of huge plates of thin crust that "...
Deepest places Hadal zone Oceanic trenches, five oceans 1. Introduction Much of the world's ocean, in particular the open ocean, deep-sea and polar regions are profoundly inaccessible. Their great depths, remoteness and immense size also renders exploration and the mapping of undersea features an...
These results suggest that manmade plastics have contaminated the most remote and deepest places on the planet. The hadal zone is likely one of the largest sinks for microplastic debris on Earth, with unknown but potentially damaging impacts on this fragile ecosystem. 展开 ...
