About This Dataset
Deepest Oceans and Seas in the World
The world's major oceans and seas ranked by their maximum depth in metres. The Pacific Ocean contains the deepest point on Earth — the Challenger Deep in the Mariana Trench — at approximately 10,935 metres below sea level, a depth greater than the height of Mount Everest.
Analysis
Pacific Ocean heads the table on 10,935, ahead of Atlantic Ocean (8,376) and Caribbean Sea (7,686) in Maximum Depth (m). 6,162 separates the highest figure (10,935) from the lowest (4,773) in Maximum Depth (m). First and second are separated by 2,559, so the leader sits inside the field rather than apart from it. Places 3 to 8 are close together, spanning 7,686 to 4,773 Maximum Depth (m).
