• How deep is the sea? The ocean floor, its trenches and seamounts, on one map

  

  A map of the floor of the whole ocean, sharp from ocean basins to seamounts. The average sea floor lies 3,675 m down, 74% of it is abyssal, the Challenger Deep would hide Everest with 2,086 m to spare, and only 28.7% of the floor is mapped to modern standards.
