Since childhood, we have always heard the mention of Patal Lok in stories. But till date, we never got any solid information about that people. Even in our scriptures there is mention of Hades. So is it true that there is a world under this earth also called Paatal Lok, and if it is, where is it? Today we will uncover this mystery in front of you.
Mariana Trench is the place where even Everest sinks
Mariana Trench is such a deep trench…in which the entire Mount Everest is contained. Could. According to the University of Washington, the Mariana Trench is 2550 kilometers long and is located east of the Mariana Islands. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the deepest point in the Mariana Trench is in a basin called Challenger Deep, located at the southern end of the trench. The depth here is such that even Everest can drown.
Challenger Deep’s depth is also like Patal Lok
According to experts, its depth is so much that it can only be estimated about it. Is. No one has the exact figures of its depth yet. According to NOAA, Challenger Deep extends up to 10,935 meters from the surface. Whereas, this estimate of NOAA has been made on the basis of Oceanographic Research Papers in the Journal Deep Sea Research Part 1. However, there are many more estimates of the depth of Challenger Deep. According to Guinness World Records, when the first crewed mission tried to measure its depth in 1960, it estimated its depth up to 10,911 meters.
Now understand how to find out the depth
We often use sonar beams to determine the depth of the ocean, but estimating the depth of the Challenger Deep is challenging. Actually, according to NOAA Corps, there are two ways to know the depth of the ocean. Firstly a ship which detects the depth with the help of sonar… then there is the second way with the help of a pressure sensor positioned on the ocean floor… which shows how much water is above it. You would be surprised to know that when sonar beams were fired at Challenger Deep, it took 14 seconds for their waves to hit the bottom and come back, which is a big deal.
