Because they have to get through the minerals and rocks in the earths crust.


What are the drills used to drill to the mantle made of?

Drills to the mantle are designed with specialized diamond-tipped drill bits due to the extreme heat and pressure found in the Earth's mantle. The drill bits are made of industrial-grade diamonds that can withstand the harsh conditions and effectively cut through the rock layers. Water or other coolants are used to help manage the heat generated during drilling.

How did scientists discover Earth's mantle?

they drill into the earth but not all the way obviously and the predict that there is a mantel by volcanoes my teacher use to drill into the earth as a scientist but then returned to teaching ans2. The interior of the Earth may be inferred by studying seismic waves at various points from a given earthquake. From this the depth of various layers and their acoustic velocity may be determined.


Why do you think geologists use drill bits covered with small diamonds to drill into the earths crust?

Well, diamonds are hard minerals, and if they are used in a drill, it could help with the power given and make the course, and power of the drill increase. Diamonds are minerals and they are found in South Africa. You dig them up and they are contained in a rock called "kimberlite" after that you give the shape, size and polish the diamond. They may use them for other things, not only jewelry. They are also used in: Telecommunication, rock drill bit, mine shack..... This information is true, i will post more soon! ;)
