The deepest part of the ocean is called the Challenger Deep and is located beneath the western Pacific Ocean in the southern end of the Mariana Trench, which runs several hundred kilometers southwest of the U.

Challenger Deep is approximately 36, feet deep. Their amplitude is very low, averaging a few centimeters, instead of 1 meter of so in the Atlantic ocean.
