How Deep Can You Dig Into The Ground?

So, at some point in their lives, almost everyone has thought of digging a hole to the middle of the earth.

The only problem is that no one dug a hole here. So how can we dig such a hole to the earth's crust and how far can we go?

Let's say we start somewhere on the surface of the earth and start digging down there - not less than 1.8 meters and we come to the standard grave mystery in Western culture. So if you're afraid of zombies, here's where they come from.

4 meters down we will reach the depth where the tomb of Pharaoh Tutankhamun was found.

A little bit, six meters below the surface we will reach the maximum depth that the search engine can handle.

At some place 12 meters deep, we see the deepest pits dug by animals - Nile crocodiles. A little lower, 20 meters away, we arrived at the floor of the Catacombs of Paris under the city of Paris -

- a cemetery that contains the remains of more than six million people.

Twice the distance to 40 meters inside, we can see the deepest swimming pool in the world. If you cross the lake and jump from the top,

it will take you almost 3 seconds before you reach the ground.

100 meters below this is where the government is burying their nuclear waste, and below here, at a depth of 105.5 meters, is the deepest subway station in the world, located in Kiv. Descending to a depth of 122 meters, we find a well-known place where the roots of trees have reached - fig tree in South Africa.

220 meters further down we reached the deepest river in the world - the Congo River in Africa.

At 240 meters, you can walk through the world's deepest train tunnel that connects the Japanese islands of Honshu and Hokkaido. But at 287 meters deep, you can drive through the world's deepest road tunnel in Norway 305 meters low and you will still be able to access the B82 nuclear warhead which can destroy structures up to this depth below the surface.

Amazingly, at 392 meters, we reached the deepest tree and possibly the deepest hole dug by hand. This is the Woodingdean Well in the United Kingdom and was dug in 1862.

At 603 meters, we came to a scary thing - the deepest in the cave. If you are still in this cave, say the same thing; the fall would be greater than if we fell from the top of the World Trade Center in New York and landing will take you more than 11 seconds before hitting the ground.

Even lower, at 700 meters, is where Chilean miners were trapped for 69 days in 2010. At a depth of 970 meters is the deepest pit that has been dug, which is covered by the open sky - Bingham Canyon open mine in Utah. This pit is way deep that the tallest building in the world can be placed in the middle but they still have more than 100 meters left on the surface.

It is low, at 1,410 meters though , this is where the deepest music concert of the group "Agonizer" from Finland happened.

At 1642 meters below this is the deepest lake in the world - Lake Baikal in Russia.

At 1,857 meters deep is the deepest part of the Grand Canyon.

The most famous cave in the world is 2,197 meters underground in Georgia.

But the deep pit into which you may fall goes way deeper than that -Underground, at 3,132 meters, is the Moab Khotsong mine in South Africa. Taking the elevator will take 4 1/2 minutes to get down and if you fall from above, it will take you 25 seconds to sit down and think about what you did - Long enough to receive or miss an entire phone call.

Even lower, at 3,600 meters, is the deepest point where living things have been discovered - this is a terrible bug.

But humans themselves have gone deeper than that. At 4,000 meters deep is the deepest part of the largest mine on the planet, also in South Africa. The journey from top to bottom takes more than an hour. The temperature on the ground can reach 66 degrees Celsius.

6,000 meters is the average depth of the ocean below the ocean floor. At 8,848 meters above sea level, it would be the height of Mount Everest if placed underground.

At 10,994 meters deep is the bottom of the Mariana Trench, which is the deepest part of the ocean. I have already talked about the depth of the ocean in another video but surprisingly, humans dig deeper than that.

11887 meters is the average altitude of a commercial airliner.

but deeper than that, at 12,262 meters, is the depth of the Kola Superdeep:

The work of the Soviet Union tried to dig deep into the middle of the earth but they made it a third of the way because the temperature at that depth reached 180 degrees Celsius - which is too hot for the digging machine and will not work. The hole is also only 23 centimeters wide, so you can't accidentally fall into it. However, if you drop a quarter of it into a well, it will take about 50 seconds before it reaches the bottom.

However, oil and gas well Z44-Chavyo passed this depth recently. They dug to a depth of 12,376 meters - it's the equivalent of stacking 15 Burj Khalifas on top of each other and now represents the deepest pit ever dug by mankind.

However, the crust of the earth can extend up to 70,000 meters below the earth's surface and the center of the planet is at 6,731 kilometers .

So people have just explored a very small fraction of the earth going down.
