As the plates continue to press against one another, the ocean plate gradually sinks beneath the continental crust and re-enters the mantle. According to Live Science, the deepest known ocean trench is the Mariana Trench, located in the Pacific Ocean. It is approximately 1,500 miles long. The deepest portion of the Mariana Trench is the Challenger Deep, a narrow portion at the southern end, which is roughly 36,000 feet deep. The water temperature in this area is slightly above freezing.The world's ocean trenches remain largely unexplored due to the immense pressures at such depths.
These are computer measurements of the size of a folder, file, hard drive, etc. 1  A bit is a binary digit. 2  A byte is 8 bits. 3  A kilobyte (kB) is 1,000 bytes.  A megabyte (MB) is 1,000,000 bytes.
A megabyte is one thousand times larger than a kilobyte. The prefixes mega- and kilo- are used by a metric system of counting which is based on powers of ten. Mega comes from a Greek word megas, which translates as great. In metric systems, mega- denotes one million.
