shurlar50:
I think its possible to arrive at another country or lacation, because the earth is spherical. If you pierce through a soft orange, you must arrive at another end, causing two opposite holes...The impossible feat is getting to the earth core, drilling through it and drilling past it. So many disasters would likely occur such as earthquake, leakage of molten lava, golden cremation of the diggers/machine and so on; I imagine its like cutting the earth into two.
If the earth is really spherical, then drilling and coming out somewhere else is possible.

The temperature, lava/molten magma are the major obstacles. Would have been a mega project embarked upon decades ago.

If mr lalasticlala can help with more views and comments.

digging through is not even the biggest issue, it's handling the Core and the effects of it. There are possibilities of

1. molten magma(and it's even hotter ) coming out through the earth to th surface just like volcanos because of temperature difference.

2. low or no gravity at the core, meaning weightlessness problem.
3. the drilling through the core could cause Expansion (shift in Underground rock formations) indirectly cause quakes or plate shift etc

I remember watching a Hollywood film where people do transport from one place through the earth centre to another part o the earth. when getting o the centre weightless effect was added just too. can't remember the name of the movie
Like while drilling, they are making way for the molten magma to the surface?

6. Afghanistan.

The most polluted city in Afghanistan is Kabul which is the capital city of the country. The number of people who die every year in Kabul out of air pollution is estimated by the Afghanistan government to be 3000 deaths. Using diesel generators and burning plastic bags and tires for fuel are responsible for increasing the level of air pollution.

7. Bahrain.

Life expectancy in Bahrain is 76 for females and 73 for males. The main causes behind air pollution in Bahrain include smoke, dust, industrial emissions and energy production.

8. Iran.

The average life expectancy in Iran is 74 years and the main reason behind increasing air pollution inthe country is the large amount of dangerous particles that can be found in air such as carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, asbestos and nitrogen oxide that are inhaled by those who live in Iran.

9.Qatar.

It is difficult to believe that this country is ranked here for many reasons. It is widely known as the richest country in the world and instead of helping in solving the problem of air pollution in the world, it increases the crisis to be ranked here among the countries that have the dirtiest air in the world.
Qatar is not one of the most populated countries in the world as its population is estimated to be 2.15 million people but the GDP (PPP) per capita is extremely high and is the highest in the whole world as it records $96, 903, making those who stay in Qatar enjoy living the most luxurious life in the world by the money that they have.

The most polluted cities in Qatar are Doha which is the capital city and is ranked as the 12thmost pollutedcity in the world and there is also Al Wakrah which is the 25th city in the world in terms of having bad air quality. The main reasons that are responsible for increasing the bad quality of air in Qatar are construction and air traffic that is usually busy.


10. Turkey.

Turkey is one of the newly industrialized countries. Well, it is self-explanatory. Turkey is among the world’s leading producers of agricultural products, textiles, motor vehicles, ships and other transportation equipment, construction materials, consumer electronics and home appliances.

3. Bangladesh.

Bangladesh is already suffering from global warming, poverty, and overpopulation.


4. Mongolia.

Economic activity in Mongolia was primarily based on herding and agriculture. But with the steady growth mineral deposits of copper, coal, molybdenum, tin, tungsten, and gold have emerged as a driver of industrial production.

5. Egypt.

The most polluted cities in Egypt can be found in the Delta area and Cairo which is the capital city is also among the most polluted cities in the world. Air pollution in Egypt is caused by the emissions of factories and vehicles and burning coal and wood for heating.

1. China.


China tops the list with a total of 83 cities.

Chinese cities are notorious for smog that blocks the vision.

In fact, an environmentalist collected the particles in the smog of Beijing and created a brick out of it.

With a population of 1.5 billion, China leads the world in the manufacturing industry.

Top Countries With the most polluted air in the world.



Pollution is a silent killer, no matter how much money you have and how powerful you are, you can’t escape the wrath of pollution.

The very air you breathe, the water you drink and the food that you eat are all affected by pollution. And you can never be fully isolated from the effects of a polluted environment.

Pollution is the introduction of harmful substances into the environment; into air, into the water and into the earth; in the form of sounds and smog that affects the visibility.

These shitty things contaminate the basic ingredients for a sustainable life on this planet. Unless one is genetically modified to assimilate and live off these harmful substances, they will have very adverse effects on the health.

10. Luxembourg.


With dense Ardennes forest and nature parks in the north, and the Moselle river valley in the southeast, Luxembourg, a small European nation has very clean air. Much of it can also be credited to strict regulations, low population density and wildlife reserves.

9. Ireland.


Many travellers visit Ireland for the presence of its beautiful atmosphere, landscapes, attractive green hills and open space.

However, there is one more reason for which Ireland is one of the most visited tourist destination in the world, the country has managed to keep its air very clean.

In addition to environmental regulations, the Irish are lucky to be so exposed to strong winds coming in from the sea and overthrowing the little pollution they generate away.

Neighbouring Australia, the country that was once a British colony has grown up to be a developed country.

The sparse population, dense forest and abundance of wildlife cover is the reason behind the country's clean air.

4. Brunei.

Brunei is the only Asian country in the list. The country shares its border with Malaysia on the land. The country attained its freedom from the UK in 1984 and has still managed to climb the ladder of growth. It is classified as a "developed" country and has seen immense industrial growth.

Despite the growth in economy and rapid industrialisation, the country manages to be in this list because of the rich biodiversity.
