the center of the earth-9/18/09

1. How deep is the deepest mine in the world?
the deepest mine is the TauTona gold mine in South Africa, a mere 3.6 kilometers deep
2. How deep would you have to dig to reach the mantle?
In order to be able to dig down to the center of the Earth, my friends and I would have needed to dig our way through 6,378 km of rock, mantle
3.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?the mantle would look like a huge chunk of rock and iron.the outer core would look like huge hot red rock,a red hot ocean.it would look like a a water falling out a funnel
