Question: How deep is the ocean?

Keywords: , , ,

  1. Hi xcath1x,
    The depth of the ocean varies a lot, but the deepest point of the ocean is in the Pacific Ocean in a region called the Mariana Trench. The deepest point in the Mariana Trench is called Challenger Deep and is over 11 kilometres deep!

    Yeah – the deepest part of the ocean is deeper than the highest mountain on land – everest! pretty amazing. 🙂

  3. … and 11 km downwards through water is nothing like 11 km on a road. It’s pitch dark 11km down, and the water pressure would kill people instantly: about the same as 500 jumbo jets pressing down on every square metre!
