What is the longest underground tunnel in the world?

The Gotthard Base Rail Tunnel, completed on October 15, 2010, stretches 35.4 miles (about 57 kilometers) under the Swiss Alpine mountains. Its completion pushed the Seikan Tunnel in Japan, at 33.5 miles (about 54 kilometers), to second place. The Gotthard Base Rail Tunnel connects northern Europe to Italy and will shorten the travel time by over an hour when it opens for cargo and passenger trains in 2017. It was a ten billion dollar project that was first conceived about 60 years ago. It took 23 years of digging and the loss of 8 lives for the tunnel to be completed.


If the longest tunnel in in the world is the seikan tunnel where is it how long is it?

It is located beneath the Tsugaru Strait in Japan, and is 53.85 KM (33.46 MI) long. 23.3 KM (14.5 MI) is located under the seabed. It opened on March 13, 1988. It not only is the longest tunnel, it also is the deepest train tunnel in the wold. However, watch for the completion of the Gotthard Base Tunnel in Europe to take over the record sometime around 2018.

Is the Channel Tunnel or in short the Chunnel the longest tunnel in the world?

Alas, no. There are several longer. The longest of all, the Paijanne water tunnel in Finland, is a water supply tunnel so probably doesn't count. The Seikan tunnel in Japan carries a narrow-gauge railway and is 33.5 miles long. The Channel tunnel is certainly the longest full-size railway tunnel at 31.3 miles. However, those crafty Swiss are currently at work under the Alps, and the Gotthard Base tunnel (also a standard gauge railway) will be 35.5 miles long, a clear winner.

Is the crust thicker under the sea or a mountain range?

The crust is generally thicker under a mountain range compared to under the sea. This is because mountain ranges are formed by the collision of tectonic plates, which can result in the crust being pushed up and folded, leading to its thickening. In contrast, the crust under the ocean is thinner due to the process of seafloor spreading where new crust is constantly being created at mid-ocean ridges.
