When drilling stopped in 1994, the hole was over seven miles deep
... Beginning in 1962, the drilling effort was led by the USSR’s Interdepartmental Scientific Council for the Study of the Earth’s Interior and Superdeep Drilling, which spent years preparing for the historic project. It was started in parallel to the Space Race, a period of intense competition between ...

... Since no one has reached the mantle, scientists can only guess as to its actual make-up. All earthquake waves can pass through the mantle, which means it is a solid (S-waves cannot pass through liquids).

Metamorphic Rock by Leila, John*S, and Samantha
... One way to identify Metamorphic rocks is to look at the way grains are formed. For example, Schist rocks have grains that go the same way as the layers. Some Metamorphic rocks are layered while others are made up of grains. Another way is to compare the rocks to ones on the internet or in a book. Sl ...

History of geology
The history of geology is concerned with the development of the natural science of geology. Geology is the scientific study of the origin, history, and structure of the Earth. Throughout the ages geology provides essential theories and data that shape how society conceptualizes the Earth.
