How many cenotes are in Guatemala?
Sinkhole Country (Cenotes) Nentón, Huehuetenango Near the eastern border with Mexico, Nentón is riddled with more than 200 cenotes, or sinkholes, formed centuries ago by collapsing cave systems.

What is the deepest hole ever dug by man?
Kola Superdeep Borehole
Why did they stop digging the Kola Superdeep borehole?
The Kola hole was abandoned in 1992 when drillers encountered higher-than-expected temperatures—356 degrees Fahrenheit, not the 212 degrees that had been mapped. The heat wreaks havoc on equipment. And, the higher the heat, the more liquid the environment, and the harder to maintain the bore, said Andrews.
Why can’t we dig to the center of the Earth?
It’s the thinnest of three main layers, yet humans have never drilled all the way through it. Then, the mantle makes up a whopping 84% of the planet’s volume. At the inner core, you’d have to drill through solid iron. This would be especially difficult because there’s near-zero gravity at the core.
What happens if you dig straight down in the earth?
Antipodes on a sphere are the pair of points furthest away from each other, and on Earth, most of them are in the oceans. This is all because Earth is a sphere, of course, meaning that if you dig straight down in the northern hemisphere you’ll end up just as far from the equator in the southern hemisphere.
Can you really dig a hole to China?
Take a closer look at a globe: China is actually not antipodal to the United States. That would be impossible, since they’re both in the Northern Hemisphere. If you dug a hole from anywhere in the lower 48 states straight through the center of the Earth, you’d actually come out… in the middle of the Indian Ocean.
How deep is a 6 foot hole?
The If You Dig A 6ft Hole How Deep Is That Hole correct answer is “About like 20 feet”.
What would happen if we drilled into the earth’s core?
Your ‘down’ trip would have gravity increasing your speed every second as you are pulled towards the core, propelling your way through Earth until you reached the center. Once there, gravity would begin acting as a buffer against you, making your ‘up’ trip increasingly slower.
