It is not possible for the average person to dig into the mantle of the Earth. There is however a mission in the works to further pursue research of the Earth's mantle. The mission is set to cost an estimated 1 billion dollars and will be conducted by scientists and geologists all over the world.
What else can I help you with?
Project to dig into the earth's mantle?
Project Moho.
How deep can you dig before reaching the Earth's mantle?
It is not possible to dig deep enough to reach the Earth's mantle because the mantle is located about 1,800 miles below the Earth's surface, much deeper than any human-made hole.
Is it possible to dig to earth's mantle?
No, it is not currently possible to dig to Earth's mantle with existing technology. The deepest hole ever drilled, the Kola Superdeep Borehole in Russia, only reached a depth of 12 km, which is less than 1% of the way to the Earth's mantle. The extreme heat and pressure at that depth make it difficult to drill further.
Did anyone ever dig to the mantle of earth?
Japan is working on it... Check out this article! http://www.sciam.com/article.cfm?id=the-biggest-dig
If you dig a hole 592 kilometers deep what layer of earth would you reach?
The mantle
If you could dig a hole 592 kilometers deep what layer of Earth would you reach?
The mantle
If you dig through the outermost layer of the earth where are you?
The outermost physical layer is the lithosphere (the crust plus the attached uppermost mantle).
If you were to dig to the earth in what order would encounter the three major layers?
If you were to dig into the Earth, you would encounter the three major layers in this order: crust, mantle, and core. The crust is the outermost layer, followed by the mantle, which is hotter and more dense. Finally, at the center of the Earth is the core, which is divided into the liquid outer core and the solid inner core.
How is it that so much is known about the interior of the Earth yet scientists have only dug as deep as about 10 km down?
Scientists aren't able to dig any deeper because the the temperatures, and there's a risk of digging into the mantle, which could be very dangerous. Scientists aren't able to dig any deeper because the the temperatures, and there's a risk of digging into the mantle, which could be very dangerous.
Is digging to China possible?
No, digging to China is not possible due to the Earth's hot molten core and the immense distance between the two places. Additionally, the Earth's mantle and crust are too thick to dig through with current technology.
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.
Can you dig down from side to the other on the earth?
No, because if you dig half way into the Earth, you'll probably meet hot lava or something and burn up. Besides, you can't dig through the Earth's mantle, the second layer of rock inside the Earth.
