What is the ocean bottom called?
The deepest parts of the ocean floor are caused by plate tectonic subduction and occur where the sea floor sinks back into the mantle in a subduction zone. These areas are called deep sea trenches and the Challenger Deep in the Mariana Trench in the Pacific is the deepest known point in Earth's oceans.
How long does it take to get to the bottom of Challenger Deep?
About 4 hours!
What is the trench zone?
it is the bottom of the ocean and the deepest 13,200-19,800 feet
Who was first to reach the bottom of the mariana trench?
Don Walsh and Jacques Piccard reached the bottom of the Mariana Trenchat on January 23, 1960; during the Challenger Deep Mission.
What was the deepest submarine journey?
The United States Navy bathyscaphe Trieste reached the bottom at 1:06 p.m. on January 23, 1960, with U.S. Navy Lieutenant Don Walsh and Jacques Piccard on board.The onboard systems indicated a depth of 11,521 meters (37,799 ft), but this was later revised to 10,916 meters (35,813 ft).http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marianas_Trench
How far down can a submersible go?
* Corrected - More than 35,000 feet below the surface. The maximum depth of a submersible is limited by many factors, but the most important is the strength and integrity of its hull. At 35,000 feet, the pressure is approximately 15,750 pounds per square inch. In 2012, the Deepsea Challenger reached the bottom of the Marianas Trench, the deepest area on Earth, at a depth of more than 35,000 feet.
What is the deepest spot in the world?
Challenger Deep in the Mariana Trench is the deepest point in Earth's oceans. The bottom there is 10,924 meters (35,840 feet) below sea level.
Which submersible traveled to the floor of the Mariana Trench?
The submersible Trieste traveled to the bottom of mariana trench
What is max depth of pacific ocean?
The deepest part of the Pacific Oceans is located at the bottom of the Mariana Trench. It is called Challenger Deep and measures 36,070 feet (10,994 meters) deep.
How deep have humans been able to go in a submarine?
Military submarines have different operating depths, depending on the submarine. You guessed this already, and the actual numbers are classified. From a few hundred meters to several hundred meters pretty much covers it. These are the "true" submarines, and they are the ones capable of independent operation for extended periods. If we move to the submersible, which is a "submarine" that is operated from a support vessel, the Trieste usually comes to mind. Trieste, which is of Swiss design, is a bathyscaphe (Swiss for "deep boat"). It was he deepest diving submersible, and it went to the bottom of the Marianas Trench at a point called the Challenger Deep. At about 10,900 meters, or some 35,761 feet, it is the deepest point in any ocean of the world.
What is the deepest point on the Earth's surface?
The deepest/ lowest place on earth to be found on land is the Dead Sea, forming part of the Israeli- Jordanian border. The shores of the Dead Sea are -422 meters below sea level. The deepest place in the world's oceans is the Challenger Deep in the Mariana Trench, a geological structure, part of the Mariana subduction-zone, in the Philippine Sea (western pacific ocean)reaching maximum depth of 10,924 meters below sea level.
Why is a submersible needed to descend to the bottom parts of the oceans?
A submersible has to be used, as it has been built specially to withstand the tremendous pressure in the deep ocean depths.
