Japanese scientists are planning to drill through the Earth's crust to the molten mantle six miles beneath the ocean floor.

Researchers at the Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology will start their preliminary studies in September off the coast of Hawaii.

It is hoped that scientists will be able to find out more about how the planet was formed and what the mantle is made of.

JAMSTEC researcher Natsue Abe told CNN: 'We don't know the exact (composition) of the mantle yet.

We have only seen some mantle materials.'The rock is very beautiful, it's kind of a yellowish green.

'Researchers hope drilling will start by 2030 and Ms Abe said she is convinced the project will work.

Drilling could take place off Hawaii, Costa Rica or Mexico.

The drilling will be carried out on JAMSTEC's ship Chikyu, which can bore down three times deeper than similar vessels.

The Japanese government also hope the study will help them understand more about earthquakes, as the country is prone to the natural disasters.

In 2016, there were three earthquakes in Japan, measuring between 6.2 and7 in magnitude.

The preliminary surveys will be carried out on JAMSTEC's deep sea research ship Kairei.

The vessel can send out sonic waves to analyse the ocean floor and the structure of the Earth's crust.

What are they looking for Mr explorers? Have we finished what is on the surface of the earth before going down inside the earth?

Why not tell us you plan to cause catastrophic?

Have they thought abt the possible negative/positive results of this drilling?

What happens to the sea creatures? And the more natural disaster this might cause?

Most of the above comments are why Africa is irredeemably backward, fear and unwillingness to learn the unknown, did someone up their said god will slap them? god that was dead when their people are attacked by earthquake? and now flexing muscles when they move to find probably a way to (learn or predict earthquake) for easy evacuation before disaster. Shame on you, shame on you god

Africans n Myopic reasoning. We never try to look beyond. That's y d westerners keep dominating us, dey discover most things why we spend fortune in acquiring wat dey invent .We don't search for knowledge but condemn dose dt are willing to. The bible and quoran encourage us to search for knowledge.
I hope we get dere soon. The comments above ar cry

That's why they're trillions of miles away from us, i doubt if we're going to meet or overtake them.

They're risk takers, they put their lives on the line when it comes to discovery and searching for knowledge.

For those of you who want to become a science philanthropist over night sit back and use your head .

I support discoveries , adventures but not this .even if it is ,not japan . What are they trying to do, drill down there and put in some chemicals that will stop japan from being earth quake prone ?(neautralising the magma in that region. Seriously .

I support discoveries that put only you and your yes saying people at risk but not the one that puts the whole earth at risk .

Do you really think I would ever care if Russia goes to war with America ?, i care because it affects everybody not just the two of them . So this affect me , japan should play their suicide mission alone and not bring the rest of the world to this .

If they are not going to discover how man will never die forever down there then it's not worth it.



If they are ever going to drill down the earth , japan is a vulnerable location and should never be an option in my opinion .

Why is that lil attempt has been made so far to drill the molten mantle in the earth core Do you think there is no machines to do that Do you know what pressure is found in the earth core How do they intent to contain the gushing out of the molten mantle which will lead to a volcano eruption Until this question is answer - i still stand by my earlier post

Well, av been having this thoughts. What if the drilling eventually leads to cracks and a whole new under water volcanoe erupts?

Atleast from the little av seen in movies, it's totally a bad idea....

This was what happened in Deep Water Horizon.

Though it's nice, man would have a clue what the crust is made of, not just theories....

Are you taking them for a fool? The same movie you watched was produced by them. So, they know what's up.

Tectonic plate movement, natural crustal disturbance, cracks within the crustal rocks beneath etc...these are natural causes of earthquakes. Now instead of the Japanese to let the sleeping dog lie, they want to artificially disturb the crustal rocks down to the ocean floor. Well, we shall see what becomes the outcome of this, positive or negative! I read drilling commences in 2030 that's 13 years from now if Christ tarries! We dey watch, explorers don't hesitate to update us o

They should visit AFRICA, NIGERIA preferably and drill it....
Let's see if we can find our senses in the MANTLE....
All they need to do is to bribe our politicians and at the end of they day, they will be granted POLICE escorts as they drill Nigeria.
Since we don't contribute anything to the development of this world, they should visit and drill that side...
