A very deep part of the ocean?

The abyssal plains of the ocean are some of the deepest parts. The abyssal plains are very level, very large areas of the ocean floor that stretch from the continental rise to the mid-ocean ridges. The extreme flatness is attributed to the settling of sediments, which over time become higher than the uneven ocean floor, burying the elevation changes in one continuous flat landscape.

The deepest point in the ocean occurs at the Marianas Trench, where the depth below sea level approaches seven miles.
