1. One of the deepest mines in the world is the TauTona gold mine in South Africa, a mere 3.6 kilometers deep.
2. To reach the mantle you would have to dig your way through 6,378 km of rock.
3. If my friend and I was in my backyard trying to find a short cut to China we would be amazed of all the things we could see. We saw many things such as molten rock, igneous rock, sedimentary rock, and metamorphic rocks. While we was digging we saw that i had biological activity in my backyard. As we dig more and more we saw the inner core and outer core, which one of them are made out of solid iron and liquid iron. Deep down was the crust and that's the thinness layer and the rockiest. Then was the Moho which that's the boundary between the crust and the mantle. Lastly we made it to the mantle the thickest layer. The mantle is dark liquid rock that is rich in magnesium and silicon.
