[PAR] [TLE] Mariana Plate [SEP] The Mariana Plate is a small tectonic plate located west of the Mariana Trench and forms the basement of the Mariana Islands.  It is separated from the Philippine Sea Plate by a long divergent boundary with numerous transform fault offsets.  The boundary between the Mariana and the Pacific Plate to the east is a subduction zone with the Pacific Plate subducting beneath the Mariana.  The Mariana Trench forms the southeastern boundary and the Izu-Ogasawara Trench the northeastern boundary. [PAR] [TLE] Mariana Trench [SEP] The Mariana Trench or Marianas Trench is the deepest part of the world's oceans.  It is located in the western Pacific Ocean, an average of 200 km to the east of the Mariana Islands, in the Western Pacific East of Philippines.  It is a crescent-shaped scar in the Earth's crust, and measures about 2550 km long and 69 km wide on average.  It reaches a maximum-known depth of 10994 m (± 40 m ) at a small slot-shaped valley in its floor known as the Challenger Deep, at its southern end, although some unrepeated measurements place the deepest portion at 11034 m .  If Mount Everest were dropped into the trench at this point, its peak would still be over 1.6 km underwater.  In 2009, Marianas Trench was established as a United States National Monument.
