How deep would you have to dig to reach the mantle??
-35 Km

3. Let's pretend that you and your friends tried to dig a hole in your backyard to find a shortcut to China. The thing is, you guys had special suits that could withstand extreme temperatures, so you would not die. If you were somehow able to reach the mantle, what would it look like? What kinds of things would you see? How about the outer core? Inner core? What would it look like as you approached the surface (the crust) on the other side?

- When we reached the mantle it would just be like a bunch of hard rock. Good things that we brought our Machetes and Hammers. So we would bang into the rock until we had finally passed through. So we would see little glow in the dark bugs, long glowing red snakes, and these huge huge bones. Dinosaurs maybe?
