1. How deep is the deepest mine in the world?
2. How deep would you have to dig to reach the mantle?
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?
1. Tautona is the deepest at 3.6 Km deep.
2. The mantle is about 35 Km below surface.
3.I think the mantle would look like a huge rock wall. I think it would look like a lot of unbreakable rock. The outer core would look like a giant metal sphere. The inner core would look like metal soup, and as i approach the surface on the other side it would get easier and easier to dig up to China.
