how deep

[edit]

in the German Wikipedia [1] Molloy Deep [2] is given as the deepest spot in the Arctic Ocean, located at 80°N 04°E / 80°N 4°E / 80; 4. The depth is given as 5552 meters (Molloy Deep article or 5608 meters (Arctic Ocean Article). Litke Deep (5449 meters) is located more central at 83°N 20°E / 83°N 20°E / 83; 20.--Ratzer 07:05, 2 August 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Unit confusion

[edit]

The relative description of the depth of the challenger deep appears to be using using km in place of m. 70.181.132.91 (talk) 20:53, 3 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It's worse. The confusion is not with units, but with which things are being measured. The word "bathymetric" appears to be a serious mistake; the measurement given is not an ocean depth at all, but a distance from the centre of the earth. I'm not sure if I even know how to fix this without breaking something else. TooManyFingers (talk) 05:54, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Serious error ruins article

[edit]

Someone has claimed a "bathymetric depth" of over 6000 km (yes, km, you read that right) for this feature. There is no place where ocean water is FOUR THOUSAND MILES deep, that's ridiculous.

I suspect that this may be a simple mistake and easy to correct, but I'm no expert and I'm not certain. TooManyFingers (talk) 06:06, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
