What is the difference between Mount Everest and the Mariana Trench?

With a depth of 36,200 ft. (11,034 m), the Marianas Trench, in the Pacific Ocean, is the lowest point on Earth. By comparison, Mount Everest measures 29,028 ft. The Marianas Trench is therefore deeper than Everest is tall.

What happens if you put Mount Everest in the Mariana Trench?

It is 11,034 meters (36,201 feet) deep, which is almost 7 miles. Tell students that if you placed Mount Everest at the bottom of the Mariana Trench, the peak would still be 2,133 meters (7,000 feet) below sea level. Show students NOAA’s Mariana Trench animation.

Is Mariana Trench deeper than Mount Everest?

Mariana Trench is deeper than Mount Everest put upside down. Challenger Deep, the deepest known point on the Earth, is located in Pacific Ocean’s Mariana Trench 36,070 feet below sea level while Earth’s tallest peak Mount Everest has an altitude of 29,029 feet above sea level.

Do you weigh more on Mount Everest?

According to some quick Wolfram Alpha calculations, the difference in gravity per the equation above means that the gravity at the top of Mount Everest is 99.72\% as strong as the gravity at sea level. Thus, if something weighed 1000 lbs at sea level, it would weigh only 997.2 pounds at the top of Mount Everest.

How many people have been to the bottom of the Mariana Trench?

While thousands of climbers have successfully scaled Mount Everest, the highest point on Earth, only two people have descended to the planet’s deepest point, the Challenger Deep in the Pacific Ocean’s Mariana Trench.

Why is Marianas Trench deep?

The Mariana Trench is part of a global network of deep troughs that cut across the ocean floor. They form when two tectonic plates collide. At the collision point, one of the plates dives beneath the other into the Earth’s mantle, creating an ocean trench.

How heavy are you on Mount Everest?

Mount Everest has an estimated weight of 357 trillion pounds. The weight doesn’t include the weight of ice and snow at the peak of the mountain, so we expect it to be more or less than the estimated weight. But again, despite such a massive weight, it is nothing compared to the weight of the earth.

Do things weigh less on Mount Everest?

However, if you climb up a very tall mountain, you will find that this gravitational force becomes a bit weaker. On the top of Mount Everest, you’ll weigh just a bit less than you do at sea level.
