1. How deep is the deepest mine in the world?
-3.6km deep
2. How deep would you have to dig to reach the mantle?
- About 65 to 100km
3. Let's pretend that you and your friends tried to dig a hole in your backyard to find a shortcut to China. The thing is, you guys had special suits that could withstand extreme temperatures, so you would not die. If you were somehow able to reach the mantle, what would it look like? What kinds of things would you see? How about the outer core? Inner core? What would it look like as you approached the surface (the crust) on the other side?
-If you started from the crust going down, when you reached the mantle it would be so hot that you could'nt breathe, plus if you somehow had a way to get to the outer core, it would be nothing but white hot liquid, that if it hit your arm it would probably burn a hole right through it. And you couldn't really get into inner core since its solid molten hot iron.
