The presence of one of the deepest oceanic trenches—the Kuril-Kamchatka trench, which goes down to 10,382 m (according to G. Udintzev's latest cal- culations, 10,542 m)—is a most important factor in the structure of the earth's crust in the northwestern part of the Pacific. The Kuril-Kamchatka trench (Fig. 324) is only one sector of the huge Pacific Ocean ring of faults in the earth's crust, high mountainous forma- tions and depths of more than 11 km (Mariana trench). Each trench is a. Fig. 323. Chart of the distribution of the continental shelf (1) continental slope (2) and the deep floor (3) in the Seas of Japan and Okhotsk and the Bering Sea (Ushakov, 1953)..
