let's find out about Mariana Trench for those yang masih tak berapa pasti

I used the word - and kinda knew - it is the deepest part of the ocean (at Pacific Ocean)
but never really read abiout it and how it looks like etc -




Let's learn -


The Mariana Trench is one incredible place! It’s tucked away in the western Pacific Ocean, not too far from Guam, and it’s actually the deepest spot on our planet.

The lowest part of the trench, called Challenger Deep, drops a jaw-dropping 10,916 meters (that’s around 35,760 feet) down below sea level.

To give you some perspective, it's roughly 2,500 kilometers from Manila in the Philippines and about 200 kilometers to the southwest of Guam.

The trench came to life because the Pacific Plate basically dove underneath the Mariana Plate. It’s part of a cool geological area known as the Ring of Fire, and what’s wild is that it’s one of the least explored spots on Earth.

The crazy depth and insane pressure down there make it really tough for anyone to check it out, but this place has so much to teach us about the Earth's geology and the mysterious ecosystems that thrive deep in the sea!

The Mariana Trench – Earth's Deepest Mystery!

Hidden in the western Pacific Ocean near Guam, the Mariana Trench holds the title of the deepest place on Earth! Its lowest point, Challenger Deep, plunges an unbelievable 10,916 meters (35,760 feet) below sea level—that’s deeper than Mount Everest is tall!

For perspective, it’s about 2,500 km from Manila, Philippines, and 200 km southwest of Guam. This trench formed when the Pacific Plate slid beneath the Mariana Plate, making it part of the fiery Ring of Fire.

Because of the extreme depth and crushing pressure, the Mariana Trench remains one of the least explored places on the planet. But every time we get a glimpse, we discover mind-blowing things—strange creatures, unique ecosystems, and clues about Earth’s geology.
