HDL (good) cholesterol protects against heart disease, so for HDL, higher numbers are better. A level less than 40 mg/dL is low and is considered a major risk factor because it increases your risk for developing heart disease. HDL levels of 60 mg/dL or more help to lower your risk for heart disease.
The Mariana Trench or Marianas Trench is the deepest part of the world's oceans. It is located in the western Pacific Ocean, an average of 200 kilometres to the east of the Mariana Islands, in the Western Pacific East of Philippines. It is a crescent-shaped scar in the Earth's crust, and measures about 2,550 km long and 69 km wide on average. It reaches a maximum-known depth of 10,994 metres at a small slot-shaped valley in its floor known as the Challenger Deep, at its southern end, although so
The deepest point in the ocean is, not surprisingly, in the Mariana Trench. It is called the Challenger Deep, after the British ship Challenger II, which discovered this point in 1951 while surveying. The Challenger Deep lies along the southern end of the Mariana Trench near the Mariana Islands.Various measurements have been taken of the ocean's depth at the Challenger Deep, but it is usually described as about 11,000 meters deep, or close to 7 miles beneath the ocean's surface.he Mariana Trench is so deep because it is an area where two of the Earth's plates converge and one (the Pacific plate) is subducted, or dives underneath, the other (the Philippine plate). During this slow process, the Philippine plate also gets pulled down.
