👆👆 I've been in the energy industry for 25 years. We had Oil & Gas publications in the office where a Petroleum Geologist wrote how they discovered empty wells that were capped in the 1960's were refilling by the 1990's.
DOWN HOLE imaging equipment and also setting off explosive charges in areas where the geologist has determined...the sound waves coming back to the sonar receivers is the estimated time and they know fro studying different formations how deep it is...most of it is just "wild ass guess" and usually is pretty accurate.
NOTE: THIS COUNTRY has lost some of the BEST Wildcatters in the oil business and it is going to take a generation to figure out what these guys did!!!

👆 That's VERY true. I'm more focused on the refining, transmission and power generation side and all the experienced guys I learned from are now retired. These young guys trying to maintain all this energy equipment never stepped foot into a refinery or power plant before.

You guys sound qualified enough to answer this question ive had for a while:
The deepest Man has ever dug into the Earth is roughly 7.5 miles deep at the Kola Superdeep Borehole
How is it, then, that we know what lies 350 miles deep?

I'm having a hard time reconciling this statement:
kek!
Somehow it's hard for me to "fathom" how water would migrate down to a place that is so hot and high pressure without turning into a geyser first.
Agreed!
I learned the other day that Iron loses it's magnetic properties when it gets heated to only 1400 degrees.
So I checked how hot [they] tell us the Earths core (mostly Iron) is. Wait for it.....
9,392° Fahrenheit (Hotter than the surface of the Sun, by the way)
Yet, somehow the Earths core is still a super magnet. Something doesn't add up.....
