This can be answered in two ways.
- Man has gone "in person" as deep as the deepest mine, TauTona in Carletonville, South Africa at 3.9 kilometres.
- Boreholes have been made even deeper.The present holder of this record is the Kola Superdeep Borehole in Russia. It reached 12.262 kilometres in 1989.

What is a deep crack in the earths crust called?
A fault.
What do ingeous rocks form from?
a type of rock that forms when magma cools and hardens very slowly deep in earths crust...
What is caused by the earths plate or crust?
Earth's plates or crust can cause earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and the formation of mountain ranges due to tectonic plate movements and interactions. Subduction zones can also lead to the formation of deep ocean trenches and volcanic arcs.
Have scientists drilled into the earths Lower Mantle?
No, scientists have not yet drilled into the Earth's lower mantle. This region of the Earth is located about 400 to 1,800 miles below the surface, making it extremely difficult to reach with current drilling technology. The deepest hole ever drilled, the Kola Superdeep Borehole in Russia, only reached about 7.5 miles deep.
Has anyone ever been able to dig through the Earth's crust?
The Kola Superdeep Borehole project (in the USSR) attempted to drill as deep as possible into the Earth's crust. Drilling began on 24 May 1970 and the deepest hole, SG-3, reached 12,261 metres (40,230 ft) in 1989. Earlier, in 1961, an attempt was made to reach the Mohorovicic Discontinuity, the boundary between the earth's crust and mantle, by drilling through the oceanic crust. The US, through the National Science Foundation, sponsored Project Moho, which drilled 601 feet into the crust, beginning 11,700 feet below the ocean surface.
What is the size of the earths crust?
The Earths crust is approximately 650 km deep.

How and why does the earths crust vary from place to place?
The earths crust its 5-70km deep in the ocean and upto 100km deep at mountain ranges. At certain areas, the crust is unstable due to moving plate tectonics.
