The 9 Most Extreme Places on the Planet The Dead Sea is the lowest place on land that’s below sea level, at 1,378 feet. On the border of Jordan and Israel, the road around the Dead Sea also happens to be the lowest road on earth.

What is the largest trench in the world? The bottom there is 10,924 meters (35,840 feet) below sea level. If Mount Everest, the highest mountain on Earth, were placed at this location it would be covered by over one mile of water.

Land Below Sea Level The deepest point on the ocean floors is -10,916 meters in the Mariana Trench. Trenches are the upper most parts of subduction zones and there are dozens of trench locations that are more than 5000 meters below sea level. Strictly speaking, most of the surface of the Earth is below sea level because oceans cover 71 % of the planet.

10 Most Extreme Places on Earth Parts of the Atacama Desert may actually exceed the dryness of most of Antarctica, though data from the latter insufficient to tell. Marianas Trench (Indonesia and Japan): lowest point on Earth at 35,840 feet (10,924 m) below sea level.

Ionosphere The lowest part of the Earth's atmosphere, the troposphere extends from the surface to about 10 km (6.2 mi). Above 10 km (6.2 mi) is the stratosphere, followed by the mesosphere. In the stratosphere incoming solar radiation creates the ozone layer.

10 Deepest Parts of the Ocean 1. Mariana Trench. Better known as the deepest point on earth’s surface, this trench lies in Pacific Ocean, at Challenger Deep. Located at a depth of about 10.91 km or 11,033 meter below sea level, this trench runs for 2,550 kilometer, somewhere below the expanse of water lying between Australia and Japan.

- The average depth of the ocean is about 12,100 feet (3,688 m). The lowest ocean depth on Earth is called the Challenger Deep and is located beneath the western Pacific Ocean in the southern end of the Mariana Trench. The average depth of the ocean is about 12,100 feet (3,688 m).

- The historic expedition to the Mariana Trench’s lowest point, the Challenger Deep, which lies 6.83 miles (10.99 kilometers) below the ocean surface, was the first extensive scientific exploration in a manned submersible of the deepest spot on Earth.

How low can you go at Badwater Basin? This is the sign on the mountain that designates sea level so we could see how low we were below sea level. The elevation for this lowest point is 282 ft below sea level. Did we feel any different being at the lowest point in North America? Not really! But it is fun to say we had a low point during our vacation and were happy to be there.

Troposphere (The shuttle is actually orbiting at an altitude of more than 320 km (200 mi), far above all three layers.) The troposphere is the lowest portion of Earth's atmosphere, and is also where all weather takes place. It contains approximately 75% of the atmosphere's mass and 99% of its water vapor and aerosols. The average depths of the troposphere are 20 km (12 mi) in the tropics, 17 km (11 mi) in the mid latitudes, and 7 km (4.3 mi) in the polar regions in winter. The lowest part of the troposphere, where friction with the Earth's surface influences air flow, is the planetary boundary layer.

GEORGE VOLCEANOV The Lake. Lake Eyre, the lowest part of the Australian continent, is situated in the deserts of South Australia, has an area of 9,300 square kilometres. It is between 12 and 17 m below sea level at its lowest point.It is made up of 2 parts, Lake Eyre North and Lake Eyre South, the smaller of the 2, joined by the Goyder Channel, usually a channel of salt.he full lake bed lies below sea level, but the lowest point is difficult to define, because its precise location varies with time, depending, at least partly, on salt crystallisation. It is always near the southern margin of Lake Eyre North, averaging about 17 m below sea level.

California Base and Elevation Maps California elevation map, Courtesy of Maps.com. The lowest point in California is located in the Mojave Desert, in Death Valley, in Inyo County. At 282 feet below sea level, it is the lowest point in the United States. To the east of the Central Valley is the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range. Mount Whitney is located in the Sierra Nevadas, in Inyo and Tulare Counties. It sits on the western edge of Sequoia National Park, about 90 miles southeast of Fresno.

Atmosphere of Earth The troposphere is the lowest layer of Earth's atmosphere. It extends from Earth's surface to an average height of about 12 km, although this altitude actually varies from about 9 km (30,000 ft) at the poles to 17 km (56,000 ft) at the equator, with some variation due to weather.

Land Below Sea Level Lake Baikal in Russia is at an elevation of 447 meters, but with a maximum depth of 1637 meters, its bottom lies at -1190 meters. The Bentley Subglacial Trench in Antarctica reaches 2555 meters below sea level. It is the lowest point on Earth that is not covered by ocean, although it is covered by ice.
