The Kola Superdeep Borehole project (in the USSR) attempted to drill as deep as possible into the Earth's crust. Drilling began on 24 May 1970 and the deepest hole, SG-3, reached 12,261 metres (40,230 ft) in 1989. Earlier, in 1961, an attempt was made to reach the Mohorovicic Discontinuity, the boundary between the earth's crust and mantle, by drilling through the oceanic crust. The US, through the National Science Foundation, sponsored Project Moho, which drilled 601 feet into the crust, beginning 11,700 feet below the ocean surface.

Which layer of the earths layer is the coolest?
The coolest layer is the crust. The crust is on the surface of the earth (where we are). The further you go down the hotter it gets, the inner core that is at the center of the earth is as hot as the surface of the sun!
What if us as people from earth decided to mine iron and nickel from the earths core?
1. we would never be able to get down to the bottom to the core because we dont have the machineary and if we got past the earths crust hot molten lava would pour out and destroy the country. 2. if we mined the earths core it would be so hot no thing could survive it and we couldn't mine it because it is extremely hard
The deepest scientist have been able to study earths interior depth in Km?
The deepest scientist have been able to study earths interior depth is 12,262 meters
That humans will ever be able to travel deeper then the crust of earth why or whynot?
I do not think humans can travel deeper than the crust because, the crust and the mantle is too thick. The crust is 600km and the mantle is 12,900km.
What has a seismology taught us about the earth interior?
Through Seismology, or through studying earthquakes, we have been able to find that the Earth's interior is composed of three layers: Crust, Mantle and Core. The core is further divided into outer core and inner core.
How miners been able to dig into Earth's crust?
miners have been able to dig into the earths crust by big machines and other huge tools and they have only dig ed 2 miles into the earths crust
By testing soil composition in various location scientists are able to determine the age of the earths?
crust

How does bromine arrange itself as a molecule?
Bromine doesn't naturally react with itself. it has to made manufacturally in labs to create Br2. As bromine is found in salt just under the earths crust and has to attach itself to other atoms before being able to attach itself to another bromine atom, through a different atom, naturally.

Can you get closer to the sun or the earths core?
You are already closer to the earths core than you will ever be able to get to the sun

Why is the crust able to float and move on top of the mantle?
it is floating on it
How is crust different from mantle?
The crust is the layer we are able to live on. The mantle is very hot and we would be killed by the heat.
When a sibling declares bankruptcy can other siblings buy through the courts their assets?
If the court requires they sell certain things at auction, you are as able to bid on them as anyone. And anyone can out bid you.
