Detailed explanation-1: -The Pacific Ocean is the largest and deepest of the world ocean basins. Covering approximately 63 million square miles and containing more than half of the free water on Earth, the Pacific is by far the largest of the world’s ocean basins. All of the world’s continents could fit into the Pacific basin.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Mariana Trench, in the Pacific Ocean, is the deepest location on Earth.

Detailed explanation-3: -Additionally, it contains almost twice as much water as the world’s second largest body of water, the Atlantic Ocean. The Pacific is also our planet’s deepest water body, with an average depth of approximately 4, 000 meters (13, 000 feet).

Detailed explanation-4: -Subduction is the reason for the utmost depths of the seas and oceans, Subduction means in the mantle of the Earth when one colliding tectonic plate goes down, this is the reason for the depth of the Pacific Ocean.
