With a waterjet.
Are geologists able to drill to the center of earth?

Why do geologists use drill bits covered with small diamonds to drill into earths crust?
the diamonds are the strongest natural material on earth. these drills can drill through anything
Can you drill into the core of the earth?
If you drill, you will go through the Earth's crust, and for approx 1,800 miles of solid material (called the mantle). After that you will enter the core, which is made of iron and nickel, but the temperature goes up to 3700º Celcius and therefore is in liquid form. So, to answer your question, no, you cannot drill into the core of the earth.
How do geologists study Earth's interior directly?
They drill holes into the earth and collect rock samples.
What did man do on the moon in 1969?
It was a quick visit to the moon, samples of moon rocks were collected, photographs were taken, and brought back to Earth.
A sample collected by drilling into Earth's surface with a hollow drill and pulling out a column of soil and rocks?
a core sample
When the crew members of Apollo 11 landed what did they do?
They took pictures, set up science experiments, and collected rock and soil samples for return to earth.
Holes drilled several kilometers into earth's crust provide direct evidence about earth's interior in the form of?
Rock Samples.
Do geologist go on the planets and check the soil and other things such as minerals?
No. Nobody has ever been farther away from Earth than the Moon. Even samples collected there, were collected by only 12 people, and the distance to the Moon is less than 10 percent of the distance to the nearest planet. We have actual samples of rocks and soil from the moon. But no samples have ever been retrieved by astronauts from a planet other than our own, and no human being has ever handled them. An exception, of course, are meteorites that originated on other planets, and landed on Earth on their own accord. Any samples of rock or soil on another planet that were ever "handled" were done so by a robot lander that was sent to the planet, and the results were sent back to Earth by radio.

Can you drill a hole into the bottom of a volcano so as to drain the lava into a ocean or sea?
I wouldn't think so. How would people get to the bottom of the volcano? The massive drilling should be from the other side of the earth, leading to the bottom of the volcano. Is it possible (at least hypothetically?)
Where is neon collected?
neon is collected from the earth's atmosphere. does anyone know how?
Where do scientists get rock samples to discover earth's interior?
They recover rock samples from volcanic eruptions.
What kind of device is an auger drill?
An auger drill is a special drill used to make holes in things. It works by drilling while also pulling the material out of the way to leave a space. An example is an earth auger drill, which can drill a hole into the earth while pulling the soil out of the ground.
