How far down have humans drilled Into the earth?
The deepest borehole ever drilled by humans is the Kola Superdeep Borehole in Russia, reaching a depth of approximately 7.5 miles (12 kilometers). This project was started as a scientific endeavor to better understand the Earth's crust and mantle.
How far down is the mantle?
I heard this from another page on the internet. If you dig 5 miles down starting from the deepest part of the pacific ocean, you will hit the mantle.
How far below sea level is chlengers deep?
Challenger Deep, the deepest known point in the Earth's seabed, is about 36,070 feet below sea level, located at the bottom of the Mariana Trench in the western Pacific Ocean.
A body of fresh water is shown below. Which point in this body of water is most likely to have no plants growing?

How far does the Grand Canyon go down?
It is 6,000 feet deep at the deepest point.
The planet is centrally heated by the earths core - so why isn't this resource exploited?
A) it is. Geothermal energy exploits it. B) Lack of technology. Have you any idea how far above the earth's core we are? * The deepest mine in the world is less than 4 kilometres; * The deepest drilling has reached is 15 kilometres;
How deep can one dig the ground to get to its end?
At present, the deepest mine is in South Africa, 11,761 ft. In theory, there is no limit. However, as depth increases, so does heat, to the point that conditions are not livable without extreme measures to control it. The weight of the rock above the mine begins to be a problem, since it exceeds the strength of the rock at your working depth, resulting in "rock bursts", where side, roof, or floor may blow out explosively for no reason.
Has there ever been a picture taken at the deepest part of the Ocean?
no, because we do not yet have the technology to go down deep enough, and don't have cameras that work well enough when going down that far.
What is the deepest place in the ocean floor is what?
The deepest place on earth is the Mariana trench, which is not something from WWII! It is located north of Paupa New Guiena and south of Japan, located in the far west Pacific Ocean.

Is African gold real gold?
Definitely! Gold has long been the basis for South Africa's relative prosperity. At least half a million South Africans, including dependents and suppliers, rely on the industry. From ancient times to 1989, the South African mines produced more than 40% of all the gold that had ever been mined. In 1970 South African gold production was 1000 tonnes, then more than 70% of the output of the non-Communist world. South Africa is still the world's largest producer, by far. It has the world's deepest mine, 3585 m below surface at the East Rand mine. The Freegold mine, owned by Anglo American, was until recently the world's most productive gold mine at 115 tonnes a year; and Driefontein Consolidated has produced more than any other gold mine, at 2292 tonnes.
