Also, for some reason I always assumed the Challenger Deep was in the mid Atlantic Ocean. It’s not, it’s a few hundred miles southwest of Guam in the Pacific Ocean.
- pfdietz 5y agoThe middle of the Atlantic is the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, where (as you can tell by the name) the ocean is shallower than on either side. The ridge is pushed up by convection from below and by the rocks being warmer there. The gentle slide of the ocean crust down from spreading centers helps drive the spreading.
