Part of the report reads that some of the valleys are 500 km deep. If I understand this correctly the valleys are all the way through the upper mantle into the transition zone where the temperature is about 200℃. This doesn't make sense for a water filled trench. Can someone tell me what I'm missing? Thanks.
