How deep is the ocean?

The deepest point of all the oceans is in the Pacific Ocean, in an area called Mariana Trench. At a place called "Challenger Deep," the ocean is 7 miles deep! This spot was discovered in 1951 by a British ship called Challenger II, and that's why the site is called "Challenger Deep." Of course, there may be a deeper place in the oceans that is still undiscovered - scientists are learning new things everyday, so who knows?

Can you come to my school?

Yes! I visit schools all the time. I like to bring interesting natural objects to classrooms, or take classes on hikes and field trips. Your teacher or parent can find out more by visiting the WILD Jersey website.

Do you answer all the questions yourself?

Yes and no. I post all the answers myself. I don't know the answer to every question, though, so sometimes I have to do some research to find out more about a subject. That's what I like about answering questions for kids - it helps me think about new things and learn more.

How do I ask a question?

Questions are sent to me by email. I will post your question and my answer to the blog.

You can use the link on the right (under Welcome to Ask WILD Jersey), and this will open your mail program for you. If you do not use a mail program, you can email a question to me using this address - wildjersey.askwj AT blogger.com. Change the AT to a @!
