Cross section of an oceanic trench formed along an oceanic-oceanic convergent boundary The Peru–Chile Trench is located just left of the sharp line between the blue deep ocean (on the left) and the light blue continental shelf, along the west coast of South America.
The deepest point of the trench is more than 2 km (1.2 mi) farther from sea level than the peak of Mount Everest. [a] At the bottom of the trench, the water column above exerts a pressure of 1,086 bar (15,750 psi), more than 1,071 times the standard atmospheric pressure at sea level. At this pressure, the density of water is increased by 4.96%.
The cold-water species is mainly found in the ocean at 656 to 3,280 feet deep and survives by filter-feeding biological particles. How is this coral reef different from Florida's Coral Reef?
