If you could dig one foot per minute would it take you about six years to dig through the Earth's crust?

Answer 2

The answer below is way too complicated. This is very simple. The estimations I could find were that the Earth's crust is between 4-7 miles thick depending on where you dig. There are 5280 feet in a mile so it would take you anywhere from 21,120-36,960 minutes which would convert to 1476-2567 days. You can try to put that into months but that would depend on what months because all months do not have the same number of days but regardless of all that the answer to your question is no.

No. The Earth's crust is composed of continental and oceanic crust. Together, the two extend about 25 miles deep. Because there are 5280 feet in a mile, 5280 feet multiplied by 25 miles will produce the number of feet needed to dig through the Earth's crust. The 5280 x 25 is equal to 132000. Keeping that in mind, we must now calculate how many minutes are in a year. This calculation can be simplified by first translating minutes to hours, then hours to days, days to weeks, and finally weeks to years. The calculation would look as follows: 60*24*7*52= 524160. We can then check the proposition in the question by multiplying this product by 6, this will produce 3144960. Now comparing the two numbers it is evident that it will take far less than six years to dig into the Earth's crust at one foot per a minute. In fact, the calculations show that it will take less than a year, maybe just a third.

IT WOULD TAKE YOU 6 MONTHS TO DIG THE EARTHS CRUST
