If we drilled a huge hole in the earth and let all the magma escape to the crust,?

Question

could we build our own civilization at the center of the earth, assuming the earth isn't destroyed in the process? I was thinking we could let all the religious fanatics have the crust. Also assuming they aren't right and the inside of the inner core doesn't turn out be hell or something.

Answer 1

Holes in the Earth's crust happen all the time. They're called volcanoes. And when the magma reaches the surface it plugs the hole. So it makes it hard to do the drilling thing.

Although living in a zero-G environment like the center of the earth would ROCK.

Answer 2

Ummm, no, the magma that would flow to the surface would take the place of the earth currently making up the crust, forcing it back down towards the core, making it in turn into magma. Its physically impossible to make a hole in the center of the Earth, the press of all the mass trying to fill that void would crush any structure within it.

With all the deep core mining operations done by humans, we've not even left the crust. And the mantle is several times thicker than the crust.

Answer 3

Must be more of that atheistic lack of science comprehension. Go for it moron. What are you going to do when the magma flow at the earth's core which creates the magnetic field around the earth is disrupted, and all life on the earth's surface is wiped out by solar storms from the sun? Realizing of course the magnetosphere would be gone? Besides, let's say that through some bizarre occurrence you could actually do this. 1) How many of the rest of the smart atheists do you think would actually follow YOU?, and 2) How far do you think you'd get before the sun fried your *** like a piece of chicken on a barbecue grill? Hmm? I hope and PRAY to GOD that idiots like you are not the future of our country. Maybe you could be a janitor. That would be a good job for you.

Answer 4

perchance in case you probably did it from the North to South poles it might desire to be less complicated. it might look that, in accordance to Newton's rope, bucket and water test, the earth's magma and middle, in spite of this is, could attempt to alter into concave because of the Earth's rotation and a minimum of flatten some into an elliptical shape ensuing in thicker crusts on the North and South poles and a thinner crust on the equator. this might propose that the quantity of molten iron which you may could dig via could be much less plus you may have the added source of denser, very chilly air and/or water pressing down into the hollow as you dug it perchance cooling the magma some. on the same time as the activity seems noticeably unbelievable and would desire to probably bring about some environmental failures, we could use some freshen up of the city blight alongside our coast lines and this is probably the suitable thank you to bypass.

Answer 5

there has been recent evidence that the earths crust is very thin giving way to a number of differing states of geological distress
one of these is apparently a layer which is made up of UPSIDE DOWN oceans and continents Now i did not say underground i said upsidedown
how radical the possible state of our inner core being so removed
is it not possible that life exists within the earth as well as the center of most moons and perhaps other spherical heavenly bodies of similar conditions
perhaps we are the ones kicked out and doomed to the other shell were the elements can kick us around
fancy that maybe we are already the ones kicked out do you think we can get back in if we tell them we are not with them?

Answer 6

It's a cool idea, but we could not survive the incredible forces of gravity even near the center of the earth. Remember that the core of the earth is not liquid, but solid, and solely because of that very pressure (if it weren't for the pressure, the heat would probably vaporize most of the minerals within the core).

Answer 7

Interesting..

Answer 8

When you come up with a 4,000 mile long drill bit, let us know.

Answer 9

Then Humans would finally be responsible for global warming!

Answer 10

I think the earth would implode.
