If we keep digging hole on Earth? What will happen?
Sanny
under the earth 10 Km deep.
If we keep drilling hole in earth we will meet lava at 10 Km deep.
With that hole allow all earth lava to come out as a volcano? Will
there be volvano eruption if we dig a hole of 10 km deep?
Google is digging 10 Km hole and using the heat energy of lava to
generate electricity. And it says It is cheaper than energy from coal?
Google spending 10 million dollars on this project. It says 2% of Lava
has so much energy that it can give Energy Power to whole world for
2500 Years.
If a big hole is dug till Lava is found will it not create a volcanic
Erruption? Can that energy be easily regulated?
If we use 2% of the energy present in lava will it be dangerous for
environment? Will new earthquakes appear?
Why is earth core in molten state is it due to high pressure because
of earth gravity?

Closer than that some places...

All magma, no. Rock is one of those things that gets less dense when
it cools, but not all magma is more dense than the local rock, and
local rock is occasionally under enough of a load that magma can still
squirt.

Maybe.

Don't need a hole nearly that deep to get energy from the core.

Once you form the hole, and figure what to do with the contaminants
that such a system picks up, maybe.

With a cold core when they are done? Not sure that is feasible, nor a
good idea, given that free flowing magma may have a strong effect on
maintaining our "Van Allen belts", which net deliver solar wind
constituents to the Earth.

Not necessarily.

We melt rock all the time *in the small*. "Easily" maybe not.
Technologically possible, probably. Fail safe... we will see.

*Energy* no problem. The stuff that is in the magma besides "stone"
could be more greenhouse gasses.
> Will new earthquakes appear?
If they vent magma, assuredly, the effects would be felt worldwide.
But over 2500 years, if it never got out of control, know one coudl be
sure it was because of them.

No. It is hot because it is well insulated by the crust (and
atmosphere) with heat from the initial coalescense of the planet, and
because there is undoubtedly fission occuring in the element of which
the core is composed. Note that the Moon has a *very* thick crust,
but still has a fluid core.

Already an idiot. Hey stooopid - you cannot drill into taffy. Not
even if you are a Russkie doing the Moho. 10 megabucks for drilling
exploration is piddles.

Idiot.

All the souls in Hell will erupt through the white-hot hole to be
enslaved at the surface by cleared Thetans. In vorpal shackles they
will do our every bidding for all eternity as Satan leers.
Small carbon footprint, too.

Interesting, to think of all the power, beyond geo-thermal available
by taping into the lava heat itself, not only for energy but also for
melting about anything or super-heating things.

It will cost them more than that to file the environmental impact
reports, fight the lawsuits from "environmentalist" Luddites, and
bribe politicians, before they can even START drilling.
Look how much money has been spent trying to dig a small hole in
Nevada under Yucca Mountain to put uranium *back into* the ground.

Not unless we start digging in from Chile...

You know about as much about the Chinese as you
do economics, is that about the size of it?

They leave those functions to the public sector in China.

Maybe it is nit-picking, but the source of the energy that heats the
Earth's interior is just radioactivity, not fission. But it is correct
that the temperature builds up because the energy can't get out
easily, and over the billions of years, it has built up a lot.
I have no idea how the Van Allen belts can be affected by something
that stays hidden in the Earth for the most part. Color me skeptical.

The convection currents within Earth's magma carry charged particles
along with the convection flow. This works just like a charge in a
conductor (wire) that forms an electromagnet. This magma convection
current flow of charged particles is the source of Earth's magnetic
poles, and the magnetic field that captures the Van Allen Belt
charges.

Saying radiation as natural decay via alpha, beta, gamma emissions,
rather than neutron capture and subsequent scissioning of the nucleus
into two large fragments.

I expect it is cooler now that it has been historically. The
coalescense will also have generated very high temperatures.

The field of a bar magnet does not come from bright white and red
paint, nor the marking of "N" and "S", but from "domain alignment".
The core of the planet is not terribly conductive, and if charges get
separated, and the magma flows the charges with it, a magnetic field
is generated.
And it is is *good* to be skeptical, especially since we can't open up
this black box... or at least I hope we don't.
