Gregory's Server#TIL the deepest point on earth (Mariana trench, ~11,000 m) and the highest point on earth (tip of Everest, 8848 m) have a height distance of just ~20 km.

@kev yet considering the size of the earth, the Marina trench barely even makes a dent. I once heard that if you shrink the earth down to the size of a pool ball, the earth would be significantly smoother than an actual pool ball. You wouldn't even be able to feel the Himalayas.  |
@garritfra that's mental. I knew the Mariana trench was the deepest part, but I didn't realise it was *that* deep.
