The Mariana Trench is the deepest part of the ocean, reaching nearly 11,000 meters below the surface. Located in the western Pacific, it is home to extreme pressures and total darkness. Despite harsh conditions, unique life forms like deep-sea amphipods, giant single-celled organisms, and even mysterious jellyfish thrive there. The trench is explored using advanced submersibles and remote-operated vehicles, revealing secrets about Earth’s geology and marine life. Hydrothermal vents and mud volcanoes within the trench contribute to its dynamic environment. Studying these depths helps scientists understand ocean ecosystems, tectonic activity, and even the possibility of life beyond Earth.
