| Jan 1 at 2:24 | comment | added | Robert Rapplean | Ah, ok. You're actually asking for how deep the trenches could be on your planet? I think that's a new and interesting question, but would be worded significantly different. We'd have to close this and make a new one, something like "How much surface variation can a rocky planet have between average continental plate height and abyssal trench depth?" You might want to post this on Meta to help figure out proper wording. | |

| Jan 1 at 1:08 | comment | added | JBH | I agree with @RobertRapplean's vote that this Q is a duplicate. I don't believe the specific celestial characteristics make the question unique. Looking up the chart of what pressure converts salt water to ice and performing the calculations vs. the planetary characteristics to determine pressure vs. depth are a good exercise for a worldbuilder. | |
