How did the 33 miners from chile get trapped?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

After the cave-in, the miners were living in a specific part of the cave. Think of it as a "home-base" underground.

Once rescue workers discovered that the men were alive and doing well, they dug small holes from the surface to the home-base. These tubes were used to deliver food, water, medical supplies and other necessities.

In the meantime, rescuers worked on digging a larger hole that would reach the miners. A special capsule was built that could travel up and down this hole. When it was ready, the capsule was intended to bring the miners up to the surface, one man at a time.

After much testing, the plan was put into action on October 13. In less than 24-hours, all 33 men were brought up to safety. Onlookers cheered as each person was let out of the capsule and given a moment to hug their loved ones and rescuers.

Is Chile the coldest country?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It is difficult to generalize, since Chile is one of the longest countries in South America (more than 4300 kms long) with all kinds of regions and climates.

The average temperatures in Chile descend from North to South across the coast line, but a lower rate of descent is seen in the hemispheric average due to a smaller influence of the Pacific Ocean, which holds a current of cold waters moving North (Humboldt Current). The difference between average temperatures between North and South is about 12°C. Besides, the diminution of temperatures due to altitude in higher place should be considered also.

For example: in Iquique, a northern city, average max. temperatures are around 24°C. In Concepción, located in the central part of Chile, average max. temperatures are 17°C. While in Aysén, a southern city, the max. temperature is around 12°C.

Why is it so hot in Chilean mine?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Most deep mines are very warm. The two big sources of heat in mines are the rock (warmed by heat from deeper), which heats up the air, and autocompression.

Groundwater, etc, can affect the temp of shallow mines, but below a few hundred feet, it's pretty much that deeper = warmer. There are very few mines "near" magma sources, though some areas of the crust are warmer than others. Also, nearby water flows can affect the temperature. Deep mines are almost uniformly warm to hot, though.

The second source of heat is the compression of the air sent into the mines. Since the mine is so deep, the column of air is heavier, increasing the air pressure inside the mine. This increases the temperature of the air as well.

Finally, almost all of the energy from drilling, blasting, machinery, etc, ends up in the rock, warming it.
