discontinuity, or “Moho.” So deep is this area that the

Russian scientists had to invent new ways of drilling, and

some of their new methods proved quite inventive. But despite

Russians never reached their goal, and many of the Earth’s

secrets were left undiscovered. The work done by the Soviets

did, however, provide a plethora of information about what

lies just beneath the surface, and it continues to be

scientifically useful today. The project is known as the

surprised at how quickly the temperatures rose as the

borehole deepened......................
