The Mariana Trench is known to be the deepest location on Earth and has a depth of about 36,201 feet! For comparison, Mount Everest, the highest mountain on our planet, is only about 29,000 feet tall. Now imagine—the entirety of Mount Everest can be submerged at the bottom of the ocean floor, and its summit still wouldn’t reach shallow waters.
