What is the World’s Deepest Ocean?

One look at planet Earth on a map, or based on an image taken from space, ought to convey just how immense and important our oceans are. After all, they cover 72% of the planet’s surface, occupy a total volume of around 1.35 billion cubic kilometers (320 million cu mi), and are essential to life as we know it. And in their great depths, many mysteries still wait to be discovered.

Thanks to modern science and improvement exploration vehicles, one of the most obvious has been tackled – which is the mystery of where the deepest ocean in the world lies. This is none other than the Pacific Ocean, which averages approximately 4,280 meters (14,042 ft) in depth and contains the deepest known part of any ocean – the Mariana Trench.
