The deepest holes of the earth; From natural caves to industrial wells

The deep holes of the earth over centuries have occupied the minds of scientists. For years, there was only access to natural holes; However, many of them have not been properly discovered until recently.

All things changed in the twentieth century; Modern machinery made it possible for humans to excavate the depths of the earth; But how much he has been able to infiltrate the earth still has a question. In this short article, you will be more familiar with some of the deepest holes of the earth (whether natural or man -made). (msn.com)

Zakaton’s frying hole is located in Aladama, Mexico’s Tamaulipas, and is also known as El Zacatón. This place is the deepest water full of water on Earth. By the year 9, no one had reached the real depth of this cavity; But the NASA Budget Robotx, managed to reach more than 2 meters deep.

The Kola Superdeep Borehole well was dug between the years 1 and 2 in the Russian Murmansk area. This drilling with a depth of more than 2 kilometers is known as the deepest human hand drilling in history. This well went to the depths of the earth’s crust; But the temperature above 2 degrees Celsius prevented from continuing. Eventually, the project stopped and stamped the well and abandoned themselves.

China began drilling a well of 2 kilometers in the Tarim Basin in the year 9. The main purpose of the project was to explore oil and gas; But besides natural resources, this drilling will also help the progress of scientific research.

The Mariana Trench is located in the Pacific, about 2 kilometers east of the Mariana Islands, near Guam; This place is the deepest known point in all oceans of the earth.

Mariana’s pit is more than 2 kilometers deep; Its temperature is extremely low and reaches about 2.5 ° C. The pressure at this point is estimated at more than 2.5 times the pressure of atmosphere at sea level.

The US government began digging a well in the Pacific between 1 and 2 years. The first phase, known as the Project Mohole project, took place on the Guadalupe Island coast in Mexico.

The main purpose of the project was to reach the Moho border, the boundary between the shell and the mantle. In the first phase, the drill reached a depth of 2 meters under the seafare. The next phases of the project never implemented and the project did not reach the border of Moho; But it led to the discovery of parts of the Earth’s crust.

The German continental deep drilling program, briefly known as the KTB well, was implemented in Germany between the ages of 1 and 2. The main purpose of the project was to study the continental shell. The project consists of two wells, with the main well reaching more than 2 kilometers. The KTB Well is still the deepest well in the world, which is still active.
