the depths of the sea
Let us tell you that the depth of the sea varies at different places. The average depth of the sea is about 12,080 feet (3,682 meters). However, the deepest sea point in the world is in the Mariana Trench located in the Pacific Ocean. The depth of Challenger Deep located at the southern end of the Mariana Trench is about 10,935 meters (35,876 feet). Challenger Deep is deeper than Mount Everest. At the same time, an instrument called depth sounder is used to measure the depth of the sea. This instrument sends irrigation noise from top to bottom and then estimates the distance of time. In this way the depth of the sea is known.
