Scientists using an ocean drilling vessel have dug the deepest hole ever in rock from Earth's mantle - penetrating 4,160 feet (1,268 meters) below the Atlantic seabed - and obtained a large sample ...
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]
Hranice Abyss (Czech: Hranická propast) is the deepest flooded pit cave in the world. It is a karst sinkhole near the town of Hranice , Czech Republic. The greatest confirmed depth is 519.5 m (1,704 ft), of which 450 m (1,476 ft) is underwater.
Rocks recovered from the mantle are closer to those from Earth's early days compared to those that make up our continents today. Professor Johan Lissenberg When life started to form around 4 ...
As the race in space was winding down, soviet scientists turned inwards. You'd never guess that this is the site of one of their great achievements. This hard-to-find rusty cap in the ruins of a ...
Pagosa hot springs are the world's deepest geothermal hot spring. [13] [14] In 2020 the depth was measured by a collaborative team from the Center for Mineral Resources Science (CMRS) and the Colorado School of Mines and the U.S. Geological Survey. The measuring device went to a depth of 1002 feet, but the "tape measure" had reached its full ...
To tap into this natural power, engineers must devise a new strategy for drilling a dozen miles into Earth, deep into rock. An MIT spinoff company believes it has the answer: millimeter wave drilling.
Considered one of the largest sinkholes (dolinas) in the world; Gruta do Centenário – a cave located in Mariana, Minas Gerais, the largest and deepest quartzite cave in the world, and second in the country in terms of unevenness; Lapa Terra Ronca – a dolomitic limestone cave inside the area of the Terra Ronca State Park in Goiás.
