Ответ:

At first glance, the dark, flat terrain of the Mariana Trench looks like the surface of the moon. However, this 'lunar' landscape is not located in outer space. No; this desolate place is 1) actually (на самом деле) found on Earth!

At 11 km below sea level, the Mariana Trench is 2) the deepest (самое глубокое) place in the world. In fact, it is so deep that it could swallow Mount Everest whole! The pressure at the bottom of the trench is a thousand times that of the surface, and temperatures can reach up to 300° C around volcanically 3) heated (нагретые) vents!

Despite its hostile environment, scientists have discovered an 4) abundance (изобилие) of life inside the Mariana Trench. Sea cucumbers, octopuses and jellyfish are among the many species that thrive in the 5) depths (глубинах) of the ocean. These animals have adapted to a life without sunlight and some can even feed upon the toxic chemicals released by volcanic vents.

The discovery of these creatures gives scientists an insight into the 6) possibility (возможность) of life on other planets. However, due to the high pressure of the water, the ocean floor is 7) incredibly (невероятно) difficult to reach. As a result, scientists actually know more about the far reaches of outer space than they do about the depths of 8) our (нашей) own planet!
