Many of us may have read the French novelist Jul Verne's sci-fi novel 'A Journey to the Center of Earth'. But is it possible to go to the center of the world at all after following that trip by Jule Verne? Let's take the deepest mining in the world. The Tau Tona gold mine in Carletonville, Johannesburg, South Africa, boasts a magnitude of 5.7 km. (2.5 miles). At this depth, the temperature of the mining plant is 60 ° C. (140 ° F). If you go down the mine, by the way, it will feel like it is slowly moving towards a burning fire.
On May 24, 1970, the scientists of the former Soviet Union began an excavation project to discover the nature of the underground. The purpose of this project, called 'Kola Super deep Borehole' on the Kola Peninsula in the Pechengsky district of Russia's border with Finland, was to artificially dig holes and move as far as possible to the center of the earth. The excavation project reached a depth of 12,222 m (1,220 ft) in 1 year. It was the deepest man-made artificial hole in two decades for depth and bore measurements. Subsequently, the depth of the Al Shaheen oil well in Qatar was 12,220 meters (5,7 feet), and the depth of the Sakhalin-i Oodoptu OP-1 oil well off the coast of Sakhalin Island, Russia, was measured in 12.2 meters (5, 9). 12 feet). By the way, Soviet scientists, however, hoped that by the time they were all well enough, they would have reached a depth of about 5 meters by the ground. But due to excessive temperature in 122, the excavation project stopped there. According to their calculations, the temperature was expected to be 5 ° C. (Around 212 ° F). But in fact, the temperature was much higher, about 5 ° C. (3 ° F). As a result, the temperature at the depth of 5 meters will stand at about 4 ° C. (12 ° F) where the drilling bit would be of no use.
The distance is estimated to be approximately half the distance to our Earth's surface, but 5 km from the center of the earth. It is only a short distance (8.25 percent) compared to the distance (5 miles). The structure of the earth can be compared to the structure of the onion. The thin hard coating of less thickness is our Earth Crust. It has an average thickness of about 5 to 6 km. The next layer is the molten and half-heated magma mantle. Its thickness is about 5 km, about 20 km next. The name of the more heated layer extends up to the Outer Core. And then there is the most heated center. Geologists believe that much of the near-Earth's center is still as hot as the sun, and the temperature is around 5 ° C. (1222 ° F). Fortunately, this heat cannot come out of the earth for the hard exterior of the soil. As soon as it comes, it quickly blends in with the air.
The age of our earth is more than 454 million years. It is believed that at the beginning of creation, it was a burning fire. The soil on top of it gradually cools as it comes in contact with the cold atmosphere. As a result, we have found this beautiful habitat. But the question is, why has the whole world not cooled down during such a long time by concentrating heavy elemental elements like nickel and iron in its control under the influence of the earth's gravity force? And why is it so hot? The answer is the same - radioactive radiation. Yes, most scientists believe that radioactive elements such as potassium-1, uranium-20, thorium-222, the planet's reactor, are still constantly radiating heat. Half-life of these radioactive elements is 1 million years, 5 million years and 100 million years respectively. So the fact that the remaining parts of the earth will be heated for many more years can be said with certainty.
