What happens if Everest sink in Mariana basin

The deepest place in the world is situated under the Antarctic glacier. This glacier in eastern Antarctica is known as  Denman. Numerous mountains and canyons have been created in the various geographical regions of the world. Everest is the highest mountain and approximately 8850 meters tall. The world's deepest depth is the Mariana canal which is about 11034 meters. If the world's tallest mountain sinks to the bottom of the Mariana basin, the peak of the mountain will 2133 meters below to the sea level. Hense we can realize how deep the Mariana creek is.


The Mariana crater was created by two large ocean surfaces colliding. These are also known as geodesics. The collision caused one surface to slip away from the other and go down. The downward surface has thus sunk beneath the outer layer of the Earth. The sunken surfaces of the two colliding surfaces create a huge crater. This is how the Mariana canal was created.

The two surfaces that collide here are the Pacific and the Philippine. The Pacific disk is about 180 million years old. The Philippine disk is not as old as the Pacific disk. This place is called a canyon by geologists. A canyon is a narrow, deep valley with high slopes. Or a deep door. This canyon is 11,616 feet deep. This canyon was discovered by 2.2 miles of geologists in miles, while mapping mountains and valleys among the glaciers of Antarctica. Satellites stationed in Earth's orbit were also used for this purpose. Geologists point out that the mapping of Antarctica's ice-free continent was important in determining many factors. 'This is a remarkable and important discovery. We have learned what lies beneath the ice sheets of Antarctica' said Mathew Morligam is a scientist at the University of California, USA.

The Mariana Trench is located in the western Pacific Ocean. It is about 1580 miles long and 43 miles wide. The Mariana dam is named after the Mariana Islands. The arch is shaped like a semi-circular or half-moon. According to scientists, it was created by raising the Earth's surface from the ocean surface.

The first measurement of the depth of the Mariana canal was in 1875. Using the sound waves. The depth was measured in 1899 for the second time. This was also done using sound waves. In 1957, a Soviet research ship discovered that it was deeper than it had previously been detected. Their reported depth is 10,990 meters. The depth of the site was continuously measured with the latest technology and the current depth is 11034 meters. Hot springs are found in the Mariana Trench on the ocean floor. Through this opening, minerals such as hydrogen sulfide are released. The temperature in the Mariana Dam is very low. The pressure is several thousand times than normal sea pressure. The bottom of the Mariana is in yellow color because of the constant presence of decayed animal parts, vegetation, and shells.

Due to the extreme depths of the Mariana Trench, this can be very dark and cold. In addition, the water pressure is very high. There is only one record in the history that someone diving in Mariana, 1960, Jacques Piccard and Don Walsh. They were diving for five hours and were not able to take pictures in deep areas. The area is obscured by silt. One problem scientists had until the dived was whether life could be so deep. After this historic dive, scientists discovered that there is life in the depths. Recent investigations have found that the Mariana Basin is home to a variety of species. In the deepest part of the world, wild animals live under intense pressure and in the dark. The Gallo student who studies at Scripps has stated that the Marianna cuisine is very limited foods. As a result, some microorganisms depend on chemicals such as methane and sulfur.

The three most common species in the Mariana Basin are xenophyophores, amphipods, and holothurians. In addition, about 200 species of microorganisms are found in the mudflats at the bottom. Unfortunately, nowadays the deep sea has become a place where human waste is collected. Investigations have revealed that banned man-made chemicals in the 1970s are still hidden in these deep waters.
