The Mariana Trench the World,s deepest point is more than ____ feet below the sea level in some parts about 23,000 feet below the mean depth of the ocean floor.

A	36,000
B	34,000
C	32,000
D	30,000

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -One reason the Mariana Trench is so deep, he added, is because the western Pacific is home to some of the oldest seafloor in the world-about 180 million years old. Seafloor is formed as lava at mid-ocean ridges. When it’s fresh, lava is comparatively warm and buoyant, riding high on the underlying mantle.

Detailed explanation-2: -The deepest part of the ocean is called the Challenger Deep and is located beneath the western Pacific Ocean in the southern end of the Mariana Trench, which runs several hundred kilometers southwest of the U.S. territorial island of Guam. Challenger Deep is approximately 10, 935 meters (35, 876 feet) deep.

Detailed explanation-3: -Only three people have ever done that, and one was a U.S. Navy submariner. In the Pacific Ocean, somewhere between Guam and the Philippines, lies the Marianas Trench, also known as the Mariana Trench. At 35, 814 feet below sea level, its bottom is called the Challenger Deep-the deepest point known on Earth.

Detailed explanation-4: -One of these boundaries forms the deepest trench in the Pacific: the Mariana Trench. Its deepest section, Challenger Deep, is more than a mile deeper (below sea level) than Mount Everest is tall (above sea level).
