The Kola Superdeep Borehole SG-3 (Russian: Кольская сверхглубокая скважина СГ-3, romanized: Kol'skaya sverkhglubokaya skvazhina SG-3) is the deepest human-made hole on Earth (since 1979), which attained maximum true vertical depth of 12,262 metres (40,230 ft; 7.619 mi) in 1989. [1]
Clayton calculated the first time-dependent models of the s-process in 1961 [15] and of the r-process in 1965, [16] as well as of the burning of silicon into the abundant alpha-particle nuclei and iron-group elements in 1968, [17] [18] and discovered radiogenic chronologies [19] for determining the age of the elements.
Earth's core is composed of an iron–nickel alloy [8] about 5.5% Ni: Elinvar: A manufactured alloy whose elasticity does not change with temperature; 5% Cr: 36% Ni: Invar: A steel manufactured to have a very low thermal expansion: 36% Ni: Kamacite: A native metal found in meteoric iron: Fe [0.9] Ni [0.1] Maraging steel: A strong, malleable ...
This subterranean formation could potentially even offer a portal to both space and time like a subaquatic black hole. In 2012, scientists exploring blue holes in the Bahamas discovered bacteria ...
Scientists plan to explore Dean’s Blue Hole, one of the deepest blue holes, using advanced technology to uncover its mysteries and potential human remains. Scientists Are Planning on Plunging ...
[3] The second deepest is the Dragon Hole, or Longdong, in the South China Sea at 300.89 metres (987 ft) deep, [4] while the third deepest blue hole in the world is Dean's Blue Hole at 202 metres (663 ft) , located in a bay west of Clarence Town on Long Island, Bahamas. Other blue holes are about half that depth at around 100–120 metres (330 ...
For one, this blue hole isn’t nearly as deep as the Titanic, which rests in the bathypelagic zone some 12,500 feet below the water’s surface. However, exploring Dean’s Blue Hole comes with ...
Earth's outer core is a fluid layer about 2,260 km (1,400 mi) thick, composed of mostly iron and nickel that lies above Earth's solid inner core and below its mantle. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] The outer core begins approximately 2,889 km (1,795 mi) beneath Earth's surface at the core-mantle boundary and ends 5,150 km (3,200 mi) beneath Earth's surface ...
