Here’s Why | Vantage on Firstpost Scientists in China have started drilling a 32,808-feet deep hole into the Earth with the aim of furthering Deep Earth exploration. Beijing is planning to dig down through 10 layers of rock - hoping to reach rocks from the Cretaceous Period which dates back up to 145 million years. The project is taking place in the Tarim Basin of Xinjiang province and could come in handy for scientists to predict and warn about such upcoming disasters such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
