Impossible to say since it has never been achieved. The Earth's mantle is 1,800 miles thick and lies below the Earth's crust which averages around 20 to 30 miles thick. However, the deepest hole thus far drilled into the Earth, the Sakhalin-I Odoptu OP-11 Well, is only 52,575 feet deep, which is slightly less than 10 miles. So there's still some way to go to reach the mantle, never mind dig past it.
What else can I help you with?
What percent of the mantle take of earths mass?
The mantle makes up about 67% of Earth's mass.
How long may whole mantle convection take to complete the whole cycle?
Whole mantle convection can take millions to billions of years to complete a full cycle. The process involves the slow movement of mantle material due to heat from the Earth's core and the cooling of the upper mantle and crust. Depending on the specific conditions and dynamics of the mantle, the cycle's duration can vary significantly. Generally, estimates suggest that a complete mantle convection cycle might take around 100 million to 200 million years.
Where does heat transfer by convection currents take place in the earths interior?
Most convection currents exist in the mantle, the layer below the Earth's crust. As the semi-molten rock heats up, it rises closer to the surface, and it sinks as it cools. This is how plate tectonics works, as the crust's plates move on these currents.
How much time does it take for a rock in earths asthenosphere to flow?
The flow of rocks in the Earth's asthenosphere occurs over geological time scales, typically taking thousands to millions of years. This slow movement is driven by convection currents within the mantle and the heat from the Earth's interior. Although the flow is extremely gradual, it can result in significant geological changes over long periods, such as the movement of tectonic plates.
How long does earths rotation take?
Earth's rotation takes approximately 24 hours to complete, which is why we experience day and night cycles.
How long does it take to get through the mantle?
20 weeks
What percent of the mantle take of earths mass?
The mantle makes up about 67% of Earth's mass.
Is geotermal energy renewable?
Yes, geothermal energy will continue to exist as long as there is movement in the earths mantle and core. Although in theory the earth will stop rotating at some point, it will take many million years and we'll probably be extinct by then
How long does the earths orbit take?
365 1/4 days
Why did it take so long for for the continents to move to where they are today?
it took so long because, the earths mantel is solid
How long does the earth take to revolve around the sun in earths time?
1 year
What does it take for aluminum to break down?
it takes the heat of a meteorite coming through the earths atmosphere
How long may whole mantle convection take to complete the whole cycle?
Whole mantle convection can take millions to billions of years to complete a full cycle. The process involves the slow movement of mantle material due to heat from the Earth's core and the cooling of the upper mantle and crust. Depending on the specific conditions and dynamics of the mantle, the cycle's duration can vary significantly. Generally, estimates suggest that a complete mantle convection cycle might take around 100 million to 200 million years.
How long does it take to travel to space?
well, to get out of earths atmosphere into the edge of space is about 5-8 minutes
How long does it take for light to travel from the sun the Earths surface?
8 minutes or 500 seconds(approx.)
How long does it take for the earths axis to wobble?
A couple billion years, but only if the Mighty Parrot is tired.
How long does it take for peridot to form?
Peridot is typically formed deep within the Earth's mantle and brought to the surface through volcanic activity. The process can take millions of years, as it requires specific geological conditions such as high pressure and heat to create peridot crystals.
