Talk:Mariana Trench

Other Languages
The dutch page notes that its 11,035 meters deep. Also the German page notes 11,035. The Scandinavian pages notes that's 10,911 meters deep. The English page notes that is 10,924 meters deep but on the main stub Ocean Trench notes also the 10,911 meters. But if you go to http://www.marianatrench.com/mariana_trench-nautical_measurements.htm it notes that deepest point 11,033 meters is. In my opion they don't know exactly how deep the trench is, but 100+ meters (1,1%) is a large difference.

"recent"?
> In the recent Transformers movie, the remains of the defeated Decepticons are dumped into the Mariana Trench.

I think terms such as 'recent' need to be avoided or defined.But if they are kept it should be fine.Also the movie wasn’t real so no need to worry about Decepticons ruling the world or anything

oblate spheroid
Since this page is protected, can someone add a refrence to the earth being an oblate spheroid (there is a wikipedia entry of the same name) in the opening? Currently the article simply says the earth is not a perfect sphere.
