The previous edit included "At 10984 meters, assuming average seawater density, the density is 1050kg/m^3" which is not cited and may be incorrect leading to the LLM warning on the page. Regardless, it is not grammatically correct via a missing period. I suggest removing "At 10984 meters, assuming average seawater density, the density is 1050kg/m^3".
