The Mariana Trench is the deepest ocean trench in the world, located in the western Pacific Ocean, east of the Philippines and south of Japan. This crescent-shaped trench is approximately 2,550 kilometers (1,580 miles) long and 69 kilometers (43 miles) wide. The trench’s maximum known depth is the Challenger Deep, which reaches about 10,984 meters (36,037 feet) below sea level, although some measurements have recorded slightly varying depths.
The Mariana Trench is part of the larger global network of mid-ocean ridges and trenches, formed by tectonic activity. It results from the subduction of the Pacific Plate beneath the smaller Mariana Plate. The immense pressure and lack of sunlight in this extreme environment create unique conditions that support specially adapted organisms, including extremophiles and other deep-sea species.
Scientific exploration of the Mariana Trench has been limited due to its depth and the technological challenges involved. However, significant milestones include the 1960 manned descent by the bathyscaphe Trieste, piloted by Jacques Piccard and Don Walsh, and more recent unmanned and manned explorations, such as James Cameron’s solo dive in 2012. These missions have provided valuable insights into the trench’s geology, biology, and potential for new scientific discoveries.

Severe punishment and adequate action must abate the offense. Many women are safe now with many safety measures such as CCTV’s in public transport, security guards in metro stations, mobile alert applications(e.g. the Kavalan app of Tamil Nadu), and so on.
The constitution subjects the rapist to a minimum of 10 years of imprisonment and the POCSO Act expedites the judgment. But in a few cases, justice is delayed which subjects the victims to being found guilty so our belief becomes uncertain.
Rape survivors are aided and enforced with good psychological health. The current amendment laws in the constitution provide many supporting systems for rape survivors under 18 years of age. For example, under Mission Vatsalaya, if a minor survivor is an orphan or abandoned by her parents and if she becomes pregnant, it covers insurance coverage for the survivor and the infant with complete psychological, educational, and legal assistance. FIR is not required for these benefits and such schemes uplift them after a great trauma. This ensures that our country’s laws protect rape survivors.
