This can be answered in two ways.
- Man has gone "in person" as deep as the deepest mine, TauTona in Carletonville, South Africa at 3.9 kilometres.
- Boreholes have been made even deeper.The present holder of this record is the Kola Superdeep Borehole in Russia. It reached 12.262 kilometres in 1989.

What is a deep crack in the earths crust called?
A fault.

a type of rock that forms when magma cools and hardens very slowly deep in earths crust...
What is caused by the earths plate or crust?
Earth's plates or crust can cause earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and the formation of mountain ranges due to tectonic plate movements and interactions. Subduction zones can also lead to the formation of deep ocean trenches and volcanic arcs.
Have scientists drilled into the earths Lower Mantle?
No, scientists have not yet drilled into the Earth's lower mantle. This region of the Earth is located about 400 to 1,800 miles below the surface, making it extremely difficult to reach with current drilling technology. The deepest hole ever drilled, the Kola Superdeep Borehole in Russia, only reached about 7.5 miles deep.
Has anyone ever gone beneath the earth's crust?
No, humans have never gone beneath the Earth's crust. The deepest humans have ever drilled into the Earth is about 7.5 miles (12 kilometers) deep, which is a tiny fraction of the thickness of the Earth's crust. Going deeper would require advanced technology that does not exist yet.
