If you went all the way through the world through the sea would you eventually hit the bottom ( i know its impossible to get beyond 500 metres or something) but if it was would you hit botton or just keep going untill u fell out in space?

the land masses do not float on the sea rather the seas fill up the low lying areas of the earths crust so when you dive to the bottom of the sea you will hit the earths crust(after going through various layers of mud and organic matter. the deepest-known part of the ocean measures 10,924 meters (35,839 feet), in the Marianas Trench, i think i'm right in saying that we have dived down to around 7000m (7km).
Once you hit the crust (sea floor) and keep going you would then go through the earths various layers (not possible!) and eventually come out the other side!

To directly answer your question, you must understand that the Earth's outer crust is is a constant state of recycling (continental drift/plate tectonics). Yes, you would cut through the outer crust in about 30 miles or so, though it's less thick under the oceans. You would the reach the mantle, which is superheated fluidy magma. Lastly, you would then reach the core, which is thought to be comprised of very dense, probably solid, nickel and iron. From there, you would then go back out into the mantle on the other side of the planet, and eventually through the crust on the other side of the planet, emerging on the other side of the world. However, since you started your journey, the crust on your side of the planet has been partially recycled, as it becomes mixed with the magma in the mantle, so you haven't necessarily gone through the Earth as such, though geographically, you would be on the other side of the planet in the end. And gravity would still be pulling you back toward the core of the planet, so you wouldn't go off into space.

the world isn't just land and then sea all the way to the center, there is a core and some layers on top of that, and only then does the sea come into the picture.
so the sea is basically like the earth, it's just round and it's impossible to go straight through it. although it can be really deep, i don't think it could be that deep. i know it couldn't be that deep.
hope this helped

There is no chance to fall out in space because as you swim deeper to the bottom of the sea, you get closer and closer to the inner layers of the Earth. This means that as you travel to the bottom of the sea you approach the center of the Earth (or the core) but not the higher layers of the atmosphere, from which you get out in space. In other words, going deeper below the water surface gets you closer to the center of the Earth; flying higher in the sky gets you closer to space.
I hope this is of some help! Continue exploring! :D

The deepest known spot on the planet is called the Challenger Deep, found at the bottom of the Mariana Trench east of the Philippine Islands in the Pacific Ocean. Sounding of the depths in the Mariana Trench measure 11,033 meters (36,198 feet). This is approximately 2180 meters (7152 feet) deeper than the tallest mountain on the Earth’s surface, Mount Everest (8,846 meters: 29,022 feet)!

Yes there is a bottom to the ocean but I doubt you would ever get to it or fall out into space as your going towards the centre of the earth and not into outer space.

The land goes all the way round. The sea's just a big puddle. Some of it's a few miles deep, but that's not a lot compared to the size of the Earth.

There is a bottom of the sea, but you'd run out of air and be crushed to the size of a penny before you reached it.

yes there is a bottom of the sea, and there is no way you can fall into space because of something called gravity that is pushing down on us
