My Adventure to the Earth's Mantle..♫♫

The deepest mine in the world is 3.6 kilometers deep.
To reach the Earth's mantle you would have to dig 3,678 km deep.


The Best Experience Ever!!!

Well its October 17th and Danyeil and I have decided to dig a hole into her backyard to get to China. Before we began our journey we had to put on our special suits, so that we could resist extreme temperatures. We had nothing but a shovel and a buck so you know it took us some time. I had the buck and Danyeil had the shovel.☺
Surprisingly enough as we were digging, no water came up to fill in our hole.Once we broke through the Earth's crust and we entered the mantle, my eyes were completely fascinated I saw things I never though the human I could see. There was a very heated liquid so it was almost as if we swam around in the mantle. Since we had met our goal to get to the mantle, we set a new one and headed for the Earth's inner core. As we got deeper into the mantle the liquid got thinker, to the point where it almost felt like jell-o. It had to be above 1000 degrees down there. We made it to the outer core and we were almost to the inner core, when Danyeil's stomach rumbled from hunger. The shake was so powerful that it caused the continents to drift apart from each other. I could feel the motion of the super continent breaking up. We immediately made our way to China before we caused anymore destruction with the Earth's structure, and so Danyeil could go eat; but it was fun wile the journey lasted. When we made it to the other side of the Earth we were just speechless; me because the hole we made entirely through the Earth was just fascinating and Danyeil because saw all the restaurants surrounding us. This was the best and most adventurous day of my life, I will never forget the day I dug into the Earth's mantle.
