The Mariana is one of many deepwater ocean trenches formed by the geologic process of subduction. This occurs when a plate topped by oceanic crust is subducted beneath another plate topped by oceanic crust. The deepest point of the Mariana Trench is also the deepest point on Earth at around 11,000m (estimates vary).
