Take $R/\mathfrak{p}$, where $\mathfrak{p}$ is a minimal prime ideal of $R$.

In this case R/p has dimension 1, but why it has depth 1? R is not necessarily CM, so R can have depth 0. – Andrei Jan 31 2012 at 9:37

$R/p$ is a domain, so has depth 1, both as a ring itself and as a module over the original ring. – Graham Leuschke Jan 31 2012 at 11:43
sorry, that's obvious – Andrei Jan 31 2012 at 20:51
