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.
In terms of data, one MB is 1,000 times larger than one KB. A kilobyte is 1,000 bytes, while one MB, which stands for megabyte, comprises 1 million bytes. Continue Reading. The way MB and KB are capitalized makes a big difference in what is being discussed. When talking about data transfer speeds, one is discussing megabits and kilobits, not megabytes and kilobytes. Bits are abbreviated as mb or kb, while bytes, which measure size, are abbreviated as MB or KB, respectively. The progression in units of data measurements is bytes, kilobytes, megabytes, gigabytes, terabytes, petabytes, exabytes, zettabytes and finally, yottabytes. Each one is 1,000 times larger than the previous.
