Drilling into the earth is done for a number of reasons. Some are exploratory, many are for oil, some for water, some for mining purposes, and others for various reasons. As we explore the layers of the earth, we uncover many things and have a need to dig deeper into the earth into uncharted regions, not knowing what we will find.\n\nThe deepest drilling ever done by mankind is the drilling that has taken place on the Kola Peninsula in Russia. This drilling started in 1970 and had reached a depth of 12,262 meters, in 1994. The drilling itself was done differently in the Kola Peninsula. The entire drill itself was not rotated; only the drill bit was turned by the flow of drilling mud.\n\nThe Kola Peninsula drill's goal drilling depth is 15,000 meters. At this depth it is expected to be 300 degrees Celsius or higher, too high of a temperature for the drill to operate at. Another drilling worth mentioning has been started in the Caspian Sea. This drill also shares the same goal depth as the drilling at the Kola Peninsula. Aside from drillings for research, a noteworthy drilling is the Bertha Rogers well in Oklahoma, Texas, which is a 9,583 m (31,441 ft) deep gas well. This was the previous world record holder prior to the drilling in the Kola Peninsula. The well was started in 1974 and continued until it struck molten sulfur at its final depth.

The world's deepest lake is Lake Baikal, in Siberia, Russia. The deepest point of the lake, the Olkhon Crevice, has a depth of 1,637 m (5,371 ft), of which 1,181 m (3,875 ft) are below sea level. It is also the oldest freshwater lake on Earth, having formed between 20 and 25 million years ago. Baikal also contains one-fifth of all the world’s fresh surface water! The lake is roughly crescent-shaped, 636 km (395  miles) long, with a surface area of 31,500 km² (12,200 miles²).

The deepest "hole" drilled into the Earths Crust was 4,644 feet deep. Scientist were trying to reach the Moho, a boundary formally known as the Mohorovicic discontinuity. It marks the division between Earth's brittle outer crust and the hotter, softer mantle

That presumes the earth is a perfect sphere, and that you are drilling directly toward the center of the earth.  In reality, the earth is slightly fatter in the middle than at the poles, plus there's little or no chance of drilling directly toward the center of the earth, much less making it out to the other side.  Man-made drill holes have never even pentrated the earth's crust, which goes 10-40 miles deep in most places.  For comparison, the diameter of the earth is about 8000 miles, between 200 and 800 times the depth of the crust.\n\nTo drill such a hole would be an engineering impossibility, for a host of reasons, notably the heat contained in the earth's mantle and core, but also simple issues of scale.  The longest man-made tunnels, such as the "Chunnel", which spans the English Channel between France and England, and the Sei-kan, which spans the strait between the Japanese mainland (Honshu) and the island of Hokkaido, stretch less than 35 miles and cost hundreds of millions of dollars per mile.  At that rate of cost, a tunnel through the earth would cost on the order of 2 trillion dollars.  And that's not even taking into account for the cost of keeping the tunnel cool enough to operate within it, and building a structure capable of withstanding the flow of magma, so as to prevent the tunnel from collapsing behind you as you tunnel.\n\nIn short, I wouldn't go so far as to call it impossible...just so infeasible as to ensure that it will never, ever happen.

Mount Everest\n\nIt is one of the seven wonders of the natural world. Not surprisingly the highest point on the earth's surface is located there on the border of Nepal and China. Although the exact height of the mountain have been disputed by surveyors for many years the most recent measurement revealed the mountain to stand at 8850 meters, nearly 5.5 miles. The adventure that led to this result took place in May 1999. Bill Crouse and his crew set an expedition to find the height of this point. Six months later they returned and claimed to have found the exact measurement of the highest point on earth's surface.\nMount Everest is the highest peak in the Himalayan mountain range. People were unaware that it was the tallest mountain in the world until 1856. George Everest of India made the discovery. Plate tectonics show that the height of Everest is still increasing at a steady rate of approximately one centimeter (0.394 inch) per year.\n\nMount Everest is over 8000 m above sea level. Winds travel at 161 kilometers per hour; the windchill is often 96 degrees Celsius below zero. At such high altitudes as Everest, less oxygen is able to enter the lungs, making it difficult to breathe. The amount of oxygen usable for breathing is determined by pressure in the atmosphere. The greater the atmospheric pressure the closer the oxygen molecules. At high altitudes, atmospheric pressure decreases, and air molecules are further separated. Therefore there is less oxygen that is able to enter the lungs.\n\nThough most people have recognized the highest point at Mount Everest, Mount Chimborazo located in the city of Rimobamba, Ecuador may also be considered as the highest point on earth. Although it is not as well known as Mount Everest, standing at 6310 meters it is also quite remarkable. Mount Chimborazo can be regarded as the highest point on earth because the planet is widest at the equator. The summit of Mount Chimborazo is then 3219 m further from the center of the earth than Mount Everest, making it what some consider the highest point. On the summit of Mount Chimborazo people will weigh less than any other location on earth.\n\nAs the highest point on the earth's surface, Everest has become the ultimate challenge for any determined high altitude climber. A group led by George Mallory first attempted it in 1921, however the summit was not reached until 1953 when Sir Edmand Hillary and Sherpa Tenzing Norgay of New Zealand survived the challenging task. Edward Whymper of Britain was the first man to successfully reach the summit of Mount Chimborazo in 1880.\n\nOne of the highest places you can take your car is to Ojos del Salado in Chile. This is the world's tallest volcano at about 22,560 feet. If you live in the U.S. and want some place closer to home, try Colorado. It's many tall moutain peaks make for good high altitude driving.\n\n"And then there’s the Volkswagen exec, who stands up and announces that his company now holds the world record for highest altitude attained by a stock vehicle. Rainer Zietlow, some guy who claims he’s attained fame by taking stock vehicles to extremely high altitudes, piloted a stock Toureg with the base 3.2L V6 to the peak of Chiles Ojos del Salado, the worlds tallest volcano. Guiness marks the record altitude at 19,950 feet. Perhaps VW should tag its Toureg with the title of “Best Luxury SUV above sea-level”."\n\nThe other claim to the highest road (therefore the highest place accesible by car) on Earth is the Manali-Leh route (300 miles) just north of Lahore in the Indian Himalayan mountains.\n\nIt crosses four high passes which range in height from 14,000 to 18,000 feet.\n\nAt Leh, the Khardung La, claims to be the highest point.\n\nThe link below is to a very old army map showing some of the route.\nhttp://www.myhimalayas.com

Sorry, this is not a university, this is an international web site, your inquiry cannot be effectively responded to because you have not stated the earth location in which you wish to study.

None. It's a hole - it has nothing in it.

I think you are referring to *trenches*, or more specifically *submarine trenches*.  For example, the Mariana Trench is a submarine trench located in the Pacific Ocean, just east of the Mariana Islands.   \n\nAs you probably already know, it is the deepest part of the earth's oceans, and the deepest location of the earth itself.  It was created by ocean-to-ocean subduction, a phenomena in which a plate topped by oceanic crust is subducted beneath another plate topped by oceanic crust.\n\nCounting the distance from the bottom of the trench to the top of Mt. Lam Lam on the neighboring island of Guam would make Mt. Lam Lam taller than Mt. Everest.  Inhabitants of Guam like to call Mt. Lam Lam the tallest mountain in the world (tongue in cheek, of course).

well, the deepest trench on the earth is 11,034 meters (about 30K feet).. I imagine the abyss being /infinitely/ deep.

Baikal is the largest (by volume), deepest and oldest freshwater lake in the world. It contains over 20% of the world's liquid fresh water and more than 90% of Russia's liquid fresh water. A World Heritage Site, it lies in Southern Siberia in Russia, between Irkutsk Oblast to the northwest and Buryatia to the southeast, near the city of Irkutsk. The name derives from Tatar "Bai-Kul" - "rich lake". It is also known as the Blue Eye of Siberia. In Russian, it is called О́зеро Байка́л (Ozero Baykal), and in the Buryat and Mongol languages it is called Dalai-Nor, or "Sacred Sea".

The Ogallala aquifer located in the midwestern United States is believed to be the world's largest aquifer.\n\nThis aquifer is named after a Sioux Indian tribe. It is estimated to be more than two million years old and to hold about 650 trillion gallons (2,500 trillion liters)! It underlies parts of eight states, stretching about 800 miles (1,288 km) from South Dakota to\nTexas. The Ogallala aquifer supplies vast amounts of water to irrigate the crops in this vitally important agricultural area.\n\nThe Guaraní Aquifer System (GAS), perhaps, is the world’s second largest fresh groundwater reservoirs, due to its extent and volume. It underlies portions of Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay, stretching over an area of approximately 1.2 million km2, with almost 15 million inhabitants. The capacity of the GAS is estimated at around 40,000 km3.
