FYI The deepest hole in the world is the Kola Borehole in northern Russia, which is 12.2km (7.6 miles) deep. -Deeds

From the bottom of the crust to the earth's core is about 1800 some miles and then another 1700+ miles to the earth's center. Everything below the crust is hot molten rock which is definitely not a good place to find caves. Probably the deepest hole in the ground might be the diamond mines in Africa - some are as much as 2 miles deep pk To unsubscribe, send an e-mail to mailto:[email protected] with the following message--unsubscribe cavetex.
