Frequently asked questions about Rivers, Mountains and Oceans
How deep is the Mariana Trench?
The Mariana Trench, in the western Pacific Ocean near the Mariana Islands, is the deepest part of the world's oceans. Its lowest point, Challenger Deep, lies about 11,000 metres below the surface, which is deeper than Mount Everest is tall.
How was the Himalayan mountain range formed?
The Himalayas formed when the Indian plate collided with the Eurasian plate, a process that began roughly 50 million years ago. Because India keeps pushing northwards, the range is still rising by a few millimetres each year.
Where do the White Nile and the Blue Nile meet?
The White Nile and the Blue Nile meet at Khartoum, the capital of Sudan. The White Nile comes from the Great Lakes region to the south, while the Blue Nile flows down from Lake Tana in the Ethiopian highlands. Together they form the Nile, which runs north to the Mediterranean Sea.
