Depth of Pacific Ocean Near Japan Surpasses Everest
A recent sounding in the Pacific off Japan records a depth of 29,400 feet about five and a half miles, exceeding Mount Everest. The wire failed at this depth, previous attempts reached 25,800 feet, and a theory on mountain formation suggests crust buckling during early Earth cooling explaining deep sea trenches. The depth difference from the earth’s center is about twelve miles, roughly 1/138 of Earth’s radius.
