If a person owns a piece of land do they own it all the way down to the core of the earth?
Answers:
Good question.
The answer is NO, they only own the plot of land specified in the landholder's title. There are details of area, perimeter and depth.
A person owns the land, and the house they build on it but they do not own the AIR SPACE above it or the subterra under it.
The government owns that due to imminent domain laws.

Yah, there's a lot of problems with claiming the core of the Earth, everybody thinks they own it. The stars too.
No. There is a depth limit and besides even if you own the land you don't own the mineral rights, any mining company that does can legally mine the place. Besides, suppose you do own some land, you have to pay taxes on it every year right? If you don't they resume your land, how can you truly own something that you have to pay to keep for the rest of your life?
Nope... Say you buy a piece of land in Arkansas and you find there are minerals or things of value in the ground. The government has the right to those materials, UNLESS it states in your deeds that you do own the land that is underneath the land you purchased.
I forget what they call that, but I learned about that in an Agricultural Law course I took.
