SUMMARY:
– At a depth of 2.3 ft, you’ll find numerous mole tunnels and rabbit warrens. By the way, a mole can dig a tunnel longer than 65 ft in just one day!
– Deep-burrowing species of earthworms can be spotted at a depth of 10 ft. One of them, Drawida grandis, can grow up to 3.5 ft long.
– You can still find the roots of tropical forest plants if you dig 23 ft down. Tropical trees need such long roots to store water during dry periods.
– When we arrive at a depth of 60 ft, we can see Beijing’s Underground City. That’s a subterranean bomb shelter consisting of a vast network of tunnels and underground rooms. It’s situated under the capital of China.
– In Cappadocia, Turkey, there’s an underground complex that probably dates back to the 7th century. Its name is Derinkuyu Underground City, and it’s situated almost 280 ft below Earth’s surface.
– The Channel Tunnel, connecting the UK with France, is situated at a depth of 377 ft.
– The deepest railway tunnel is located at a depth of 787 ft. That’s the maximum depth of the Seikan Tunnel in Japan that opened in 1988.
– Even if we could get down to 1,001 ft, we’d still be in the danger zone for a B82 Earth-penetrating nuclear warhead. That’s its maximum destructive depth.
– At a depth of 3,800 ft, there’s the deepest bat colony in the world. About 1,000 brown bats spend every winter in a zinc mine in New York.
– About 5,920 ft down and we arrive at the deepest part of the 227-mile-long Grand Canyon. Its average depth is 5,282 ft.
– The average depth of the oceanic crust is almost 20,000 ft. This is also the depth of the deepest known microbes. They were found in rocks below China’s Songliao Basin.
-The winner in the category of the deepest artificial hole on Earth is Z44-Chayvo Oil and Gas Well. This shaft is drilled down to a whopping 40,604 ft! That’s 15 Burj Khalifas put on top of each other. The shaft is located in the Russian Far East.
