Can people fall into the earth's mantle?

Question

Is it possible? Has it happened before and if so , how so?

Answer 1

You might be able to fall onto a piece of what used to be the Earth's mantle. On the island of Newfoundland in Canada, there are actually pieces of the Earth's mantle that have been pushed upward and exposed. These rocks are in Gros Morne National Park. So, someone could fall onto one of these.

Answer 2

There would have to be an opening in the earth crust in order for a person to fall through , and that is impossible because it would cause volcano like eruptions and earthquakes that would eventually seal the opening .

Answer 3

No.  The crust of the Earth is about 30 miles thick.  People have, I believe broken through the crust of already extruded lava, but that wouldn't take them to the mantle.  Even if you stood on the lower piece of a subduction zone, it moves so slowly that you would never get there.

If people jumped or were thrown into a volcano as sacrifices, the resultant chemicals from their burned bodies would either come out with the lava, if the volcano went ahead and erupted; or remain in the magma chamber until the next eruption.

Answer 4

Not before you become evapourated by lava.

Or is it magma.
