SOLUTION:
Part A
The greatest ocean depth is 104 m, while the earth’s diameter is 107 m
\frac{\text{Ocean's Depth}}{\text{Earth's Diameter}}= \frac{10^4}{10^7}=\frac{1}{1000}\ \qquad \ \color{DarkOrange} \left( \text{Answer} \right)
Part B
The highest mountain is also roughly 104 m.
\displaystyle \frac{10^4}{10^7}=\frac{1}{1000}\ \qquad \ \color{DarkOrange} \left( \text{Answer} \right)
