Exploring the Depths of the Mariana Trench

The ocean’s trench of the deepest area of the earth This huge expanse that is more than seventy percent of the earth’s surface is perhaps one of the most fascinating but least explored domain that is the ocean. Within this vast sea, there is a geological formation that can completed be termed as awe-inspiring and that is the Mariana trench. This immense underwater chasm which stands 1,500 miles long with depths that are approximately six and a half miles deep is living proof of forces that mould the Earth. Plunging into the Unknown The Mariana Trench is an eye opener as a testament of how big our world is and how strong it can be. Owing to the tectonic plate activity, this trench is the product of the Pacific plate underthrusting the Mariana plate; it’s the world’s deepest point in the oceans. This size can be named as truly immense, as even the highest peak in the entire world – Mount Everest – if placed in the trench, would be covered by water at least by one mile. Describing...
