The Puerto Rico Trench is the deepest part of the Atlantic Ocean, with water depths exceeding 8,300 meters. Its depth is comparable to the deep trenches in the Pacific Ocean. Trenches in the Pacific are located in places where one tectonic plate subducts or slides under another one.

The Puerto Rico Trench is parallel to and north of Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands and reaches depths of more than 8000 meters. Puerto Rico, the closest land area, has a central longitudinal core of Cretaceous and early Tertiary volcanic rocks, some serpentinite of undetermined age, and numerous small intrusions.

The Puerto Rico Trench is about 1,090 mi (1,750 km) long and 60 mi (100 km) wide. The deepest point in the Atlantic Ocean, the Milwaukee Depth, lies at a depth of 27,493 ft (8,380 m) at the western end of the trench, about 100 mi (160 km) northwest of Puerto Rico. On December 19, 2018, its deepest point was identified by the DSSV Pressure Drop.

The Puerto Rico Trench. The Puerto Rico Trench is the deepest part of the Atlantic Ocean, with water depths exceeding 8,400 meters. Its depth is comparable to the deep trenches in the Pacific Ocean. Trenches in the Pacific are located in places where one tectonic plate subducts or slides under another one.
Puerto Rico Trench
The northern boundary of Puerto Rico is marked by the 800-kilometer-long Puerto Rico Trench, which is the deepest part of the Atlantic Ocean, with a maximum depth of 8,648 meters (Figure 1). It is the eighth deepest trench in the world and the deepest seafloor outside the Pacific Ocean.

The Puerto Rico Trench joins the Lesser Antilles Island arc in the eastern Caribbean. A few trenches are partially filled with sediments derived from the bordering continents. The Aleutian Trench is effectively buried east of Kodiak Island in the Gulf of Alaska. There the ocean floor is smooth and flat. To the west, farther from the sediment.

The Puerto Rico Trench is the deepest part of the Atlantic Ocean, located at a boundary between two plates that slide past each other with only a small component of subduction. It is associated with the most negative gravity anomaly on earth and a thick limestone platform. It is also a region of high seismicity and large earthquakes, and a threat of tsunamis for the islands of Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and eastern Hispaniola.
