Detailed explanation-1: -You might expect the waters of the Mariana Trench to be frigid since no sunlight can reach it. And you’d be right. The water there tends to range between 34 to 39 degrees Fahrenheit. But what’s surprising is how hot the water can get, too.
Detailed explanation-2: -Trenches are long, narrow and very deep and, while most are in the Pacific Ocean, can be found around the world. The deepest trench in the world, the Mariana Trench located near the Mariana Islands, is 1, 580 miles long and averages just 43 miles wide.
Detailed explanation-3: -Life in the Trenches Ocean trenches are some of the most hostile habitats on Earth. Pressure is more than 1, 000 times that on the surface, and the water temperature is just above freezing.
Detailed explanation-4: -deep-sea trench, also called oceanic trench, any long, narrow, steep-sided depression in the ocean bottom in which occur the maximum oceanic depths, approximately 7, 300 to more than 11, 000 metres (24, 000 to 36, 000 feet).
