Question

The deepest trench in the world, the mariana trench, is located in which ocean?.

Answer 1

The Mariana Trench, with depths approaching 11,000 m, is located in the western Pacific Ocean and is part of the aphotic and benthic zones of the ocean.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Mariana Trench, known to contain the deepest parts of the world's oceans, is located in the western Pacific Ocean. The trench, including the Challenger Deep, extends approximately 11,000 m (about 6.8 mi) deep, far surpassing the average ocean depth of 4267 m or 14,000 ft. This region is a part of the benthic realm which covers the entirety of the ocean bottom - from shorelines to the deepest trenches. Furthermore, the trench lies within the aphotic zone, a zone where sunlight is unable to penetrate deep enough to allow for photosynthesis, usually at depths greater than 200 m (650 ft).

Answer 2

The Pacific Ocean

The Mariana Trench, in the Pacific Ocean, is the deepest location on Earth. According to the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), the United States has jurisdiction over the trench and its resources.
