(See map and illustration.) Within the Mariana Trench, there is a small valley that goes even farther into the Earth's crust - this spot, called the Challenger Deep, is the deepest part of the ocean. The distance between the ocean's surface and the bottom of the Challenger Deep (11,...

Fig. 1: Location map showing the samples from Mariana/Yap trenches. Results Total Hg and MMHg concentrations Total Hg concentrations in trench amphipods have an average of 547 ± 230 ng g−1(1 SD, 235 to 1070 ng g−1, dry weight, Supplementary Table1), which is comp...
The deepest spot in the Mariana Trench – the Challenger Deep – is roughly 10,900 meters deep. The spot is also the lowest place of the solid Earth surface, in contrary to Mount Qomolangma (Everest) which is the highest spot. Find out how the submersible got its na...
Site U1438, located ~60 km southwest of the KPR, is a distal extreme from the current trench of all IBM-related magmatism so far drilled (Fig. 1). At the time of emplacement and assuming no slab rollback, Site U1438 was at least 250 km distal from the position of the current ...
The > 6-km-deep Mariana Trench adjoins the East Mariana Ridge on the east, and the Mariana Trough, partly filled with young lava flows and volcaniclastic sediment, lies on the west of the Northern Mariana Islands (East Mariana Ridge. The submarine West Mariana Ridge, Terti...
Each map shows the local trench (blue dashed line), volcanic arc (red dotted line), and back-arc ridge (black solid line). The green boxes identify the ridge sections discussed in this paper. Underlying satellite bathymetry [Smith and Sandwell, 1997] follows a spectral gradient from deep (...
The result was exposure of the FABs, boninites, and early volcanics that are near the trench today. (7) Serpentinite mud volcanoes observed in the Mariana fore-arc may have formed above the remnants of the paleo-transform boundary between the proto-PSP and the Pacific Plate....
Consequently, the distance between the KPR chain of volcanoes and the present-day trench is much greater than originally. The age of the igneous seafloor of the Amami-Sankaku basin was unknown at the time of drilling, but was thought to be as old as Cretaceous based on ages of the ...
