Can you travel under the earth?

Answer 1

Quite a few shovels, lol.

But also. Assuming we are starting on the ground, we bypass the atmosphere (though that can be considered if you are going into the core of other planets, but we are already within the atmosphere here). First you go through the crust, mostly solid rock. You may encounter underground oil and gas and water, but for the most part, just rock.

You'll then get to the mantle which at first is like a thick goo, but the preasure turns it solid pretty quickly. Here you'll find more magnesium and less silicon and aluminium, as those lighter metals tend to rise or "float" up to the crust. As you go deeper and deeper in the mantle (which will take most of the trip) you'll see that the difference in layers is mostly how the rocks are structured, as opposed to their chemical differences. This is because as the preasure builds up, it causes different structures (much like graphite and diamonds are both carbon, but different structures of carbon).

After a long trip, you hit the outer core, which is liquid nickel-iron, because, although the preasure is high, it isn't high enough to force into a solid (which is what the inner core is).

Answer 2

Yes You would probably die ___________________________ Considering that the center of the Earth is a vastly hot molten ball of iron and rock, there is no way to ever get to the center of the Earth. My apologies to Jules Verne.

Answer 3

No. The pressure and the heat would be to much, not forgetting the amount of drilling required.
