I WONDER - What Is The Mariana Trench?

The Mariana Trench is the deepest point on Earth, stretching over 1500 miles and reaching a depth of 36,201 feet. Despite its immense depth, it is home to unique marine life that has adapted to the extreme conditions. The trench's depth is so significant that the Eiffel Tower could fit inside it 30 times. Animals like the barrel eye, telescope octopus, and goblin shark have evolved to survive in this dark, high-pressure environment.
