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 do you know that the earth is in layers?

Scientists have determined the layers of the Earth by studying seismic waves from earthquakes. These waves travel through the Earth at different speeds and provide information about the density and composition of the different layers beneath the surface. By analyzing this data, scientists have been able to deduce the Earth's structure and layers.


Can you live on a super-earth planet?

It is currently unknown if humans can live on a super-earth planet as it would depend on various factors such as atmosphere composition, gravity, temperature, and presence of water. More research and exploration of super-earth exoplanets are needed to determine their habitability for humans.


Who are the Characters of Journey to the Center of the Earth?

The movies differ from the Verne Novel. There is essentially Professor Lindenbrook- the Scientist and head of the expedition, his assistant, who was miscast as Pat Boone in the movie- which was fine for several songs having nothing to do with the plot lines- The Female character- who is the widow of some explorer- and is bankrolling the expedition- there are no girl characters in the Verne novel- I"m glad Hollywood brought one in- The Bad Guy scientist- also with a Scandinavian name- and the muscular Lars who is the handy-man of the Expedition.- Oh yes, Bad guy was only ever referred to as 'Count Sagnussen'. These same characters existed in the TV Cartoon by Donald Sutherland- and pretty good for its type. Gertrude the Duck remained alive as a comedy interest in the cartoon- the duck was killed and eaten by the bad guy in the movie. The scientists work out of Edinburgh University, which is in Scotland, in spite of the Scandinavian names. I met Arlene Dahl last year at the Loew"s showing. Rate of increase l00O a minute ( from the bathtub escape craft!- we:re outta here! indeed. In both the book and the 1959 film the explorers escaped via what they termed 'the alter stone' which was really a large bowl. In the later movie they escaped using the skull of a dinosaur.


Is Earth a female?

Yes, the Earth is a female planet.By female we obviously mean something quite different from the term employed to us humans. The Earth is a Cosmic Goddess so far beyond our present state of evolution that we can only dimly realize what she is and why she is here. As far as we are concerned she provides humanity, and indeed, all life forms on her body essential experience.The Logos of Earth, which is to say, the Earth as an Intelligence is female from a magnetic and geo-metaphysical point of view.


How are natural gas and petroleum removed from earths crust?

Via sealed boreholes drilled into the reservoir - permable rocks trapped below an inpervious, impermeable cap rock. Once the gas pressure in the reservoir falls too far for it to push the crude oil to the surface, water in pumped down a parallel well to displace the remaining iol up through the production well.One point - the oil is not in the crust. It is in sedimentary rock covering the crust.

How can you get solar power when the sun is far away from Earth?

The sun is far away from earth, yes, but it is at the right distance to keep the earth warm (through the natural greenhouse effect). If we were closer, then the earth would be much warmer (and humans may not have evolved in the same way, or at all!).
