If the earth was an apple, the deepest hole ever dug into the earth would not pierce the skin of the apple.
The earth is huge.
What inside is not known. Lots of smart guesses.
Because it can’t be proven otherwise, I like to believe it’s filled with nacho cheese.

So what are volcanoes and hot springs? Why don’t we have a giant sea jacuzzi? If the earth is so thick, how do volcanoes have magma, and if there are indeed underwater volcanoes, shouldn’t there be atleast one area that has constant warm water?

Supposedly the center of the earth is as hot as the surface of the sun.

Have you ever gone swimming in a deep abandoned quarry that's filled with water.? You'll find that the upper four feet are warm, but if you go ten feet down it's cold enough to make you gasp (and some have drowned that way).

Heated air (and water) rise.

Imma say it's because the center of the Earth is over 47,000,000 feet from the sea level surface and the deepest known point in any ocean is only 35,000 feet from the sea level surface.

In other words, the bottom of the ocean still isn't very close to the center of the Earth.




It doesn't have to be close to the center to be hot. Drill down mine shafts deep enough and it gets pretty toasty, and those are barely scratching the surface of the crust much less the mantle much less the core.

Why are the highest peaks the coldest? They're closest to the sun.

That's because the Earth is heated by it's molten core, and not by the Sun. That's why water in the deep oceans, closest to the core, are liquid. While water on top of mountains freeze into snow.
