Suppose some future technology is able to create a black hole. And they managed to create a tiny black hole with 10 times the mass of earth. How long would the black hole take to reach the earth's core and start eating up the planet from inside?
And would this happen at all? What would happen when a tiny black hole gets formed on the surface of planet earth?
Would it also produce earthquake? If so, what magnitude on the Richter scale?
I thought from the title that you were positing a small black hole, say produced in a particle accelerator.
Another possibility is micro-black holes, with the mass of a mountain or larger, left over from the Big Bang. If one of these hit the Earth with the usual meteorite velocity of 15-30 km/second, it would pass straight through the Earth in about 5 minutes. It would collect some of Earth's matter as it did so - but not enough to slow down the black hole significantly, or enough to collapse the Earth. - If it hit someone in a critical organ it might kill or injure them. - It might make a bang as it disturbed the atmosphere, but I suspect it would be softer than thunder.
