Mariana islands, island arc, a series of volcanic and uplifted coral formations in the western pacific ocean, about 1,500 miles (2,400 km) east of the philippines They are the highest slopes of a massive undersea mountain range, rising some 6 miles (9.5 km) from the marianas trench in the ocean. The name mariana is a girl's name of spanish origin meaning related to the god mars Mariana is that unusual name that is more than the sum of its parts While mary or maria and ana or anna are both perfectly nice classic names, mariana achieves a lyrical elegance that transcends them.
The mariana trench is the deepest part of the world's oceans, located in the western pacific ocean The weight of the ocean above it creates pressure around 15,750 pounds per square inch (more than 1,000 times what we experience on land) and the alien world is devoid of light. Ten years after brazil’s worst environmental disaster, the indigenous krenak people are still mourning what they call “the death of the river.” The pacific plate is subducted beneath the mariana plate, creating the mariana trench, and (further on) the arc of the mariana islands, as water trapped in the plate is released and explodes upward to form island volcanoes and earthquakes. It stretches for more than 1,580 miles (2,540 km) with a mean width of 43 miles (69 km) and is part of the western pacific system of oceanic trenches coinciding with subduction zones. Mariana is a feminine given name of latin origin
