Mariana Trench
Mariana Trench, or the Mariana Trench - ocean basins in the western Pacific Ocean, is the deepest known on Earth geographical objects.
Trough stretches along the Mariana Islands 1500 km; it has a V-shaped profile, steep (7-9 °) slopes, flat bottom width of 1-5 km, which is divided into several rapids closed depressions. At the bottom of the water pressure reaches 108, 6 MPa, which is more than 1,100 times greater than normal atmospheric pressure at sea level. The depression is on the boundary of two tectonic plates docking in the area of movement along faults, where the Pacific plate goes under the Philippine plate.
