How deep is the deepest ocean?
The Marianas Trench, in the Pacific The deepest ocean is the Pacific, and its deepest waters are those of the Marianas Trench, which lies between Japan and New Guinea. It is 11 km, or about 7 miles, deep and it is also the lowest known point in the Earth's crust. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marianas_trench In 1960, the U.S. Navy sent the bathyscaphe Trieste to the bottom of the trench, setting the standing record for the deepest ocean dive acheived by humans.
A redesigned Trieste was used a few years later to explore the wreckage of the USS Thresher, a nuclear submarine lost with all hands in the Atlantic.

Deep The Pacific Ocean at Mariana Trench just east of the Mariana Islands is more then 11kms (36,201 feet) deep which is deepest point in ocean known to man, and the deepest location of the earth of all. "The deepest point in each of the earth's oceans are as follows; the Arctic Ocean's Eurasian Basin at 5,450 meters (17,881 feet) deep, the Indian Ocean's Java Trench at 7,725 meters (25,344 feet) deep, the Atlantic Ocean's Puerto Rico Trench at 8,648 meters (28,374 feet) deep and the Pacific Ocean's Mariana Trench at 11,033 meters (36,201 feet) deep.

The deepest part of the oceans is the Marianas Trench This is a trench over 36,000 feet deep next to the Marianas Islands, near Japan in the Pacific Ocean. It marks the place where one tectonic plate ducks under another plate. It is deeper than Mount Everest is tall.

Pretty deep The Mariana Trench is the deepest spot on the surface of the Earth, 11 kilometers (about 7 miles) deep. For the oceans as a whole, we can only talk about averages since the actual depth of the sea floor varies a lot. The deepest on average is the Pacific, at 4282 meter (just under 3 miles) deep..
Challenger Deep 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 of it! So how come 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 "float" on the molten rock of the earth’s mantle.
While floating around on the mantle the edges of these plates slide past each other, bump into each other, and sometimes even crash. The oceanic crust is much heavier than the continental crust so when the plates crash into each other, the oceanic plate plunges downward toward the molten mantle, while the lighter, continental plate rides up over the top. The forces driving the two plates together are really intense so the underlying oceanic plate (the subducted plate) creates a trench where it drags the edge of the continental crust down as it descends underneath (check out the picture at left).
This is what’s happening on the bottom of the Pacific Ocean off the Marianas islands. The really deep part of the ocean is in the bottom of the trench created by the subducting ocean crust. Sources: extreme science .
Does anyone really know how deep you can go threw the earth until you get on the other side.
My Deepest Apologizes to Everyone on Askville!
When the Mariana Trench was explored and measured in 1951 as the deepest place on earth, did people already know...
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
