The Earth's mantle begins at a depth of about 30 to 50 kilometers (19 to 31 miles) beneath the surface, depending on location. If one were to hypothetically drill straight down, current drilling technology can reach depths of about 12 kilometers (7.5 miles) in the deepest boreholes, such as the Kola Superdeep Borehole, which took nearly 20 years to complete. Thus, reaching the mantle with existing technology would take an impractically long time, and significant advancements would be needed to achieve this goal.

How long does it take to get through the mantle?
20 weeks
How long may whole mantle convection take to complete the whole cycle?
Whole mantle convection can take millions to billions of years to complete a full cycle. The process involves the slow movement of mantle material due to heat from the Earth's core and the cooling of the upper mantle and crust. Depending on the specific conditions and dynamics of the mantle, the cycle's duration can vary significantly. Generally, estimates suggest that a complete mantle convection cycle might take around 100 million to 200 million years.
If there wasn't a core at the center of the Earth could you really dig all the way to china?
No, because you would still have to get through the mantle. But if that wasn't there I suppose theoretically you could but it would take an awful long time. It would also depend where you were on the earth.
What would happen if Earth's convection currents in Earth's mantle slowed down.?
If the convection currents in the earth's mantle slowed down then the mantle would slow down. Eventually, the mantle would stop all movement.
How long did mickey mantle live?
Mantle was born in 1931 and died in 1995.
How would the mantle behave when there is a gentle continious pressure?
Under gentle continuous pressure, the mantle would slowly deform and flow over long periods of time. This gradual movement of the mantle is known as mantle convection, where warmer, less dense rock rises and cooler, denser rock sinks, driving the slow movements of tectonic plates on Earth's surface.
What contains the asthenosphere and the lower mantle?
The answer to this question would be the mantle.
The what of a mollusk such as a clam is secreted by the mantle. the answer is 5 letters long.?
The shell is secreted by the mantle.
How long would it take to send 1 lbs of packinging to Colorado?
It would take as long as it takes you to get to your nearest US Post Office. There they can tell you how long it would take to deliver it.
How long would it take a trout to swim to Italy?
I'm guessing not as long as it would take for you to swim there.
What percent of the mantle take of earths mass?
The mantle makes up about 67% of Earth's mass.
How long does it take from 930pm to 345am?
It would be over 1 day. but I'm not sure how Long It would take.
