    If a person owns a piece of land do they own it all the way down to the core of the earth?

    Question #36508. Asked by puzzlerguy. (Jul 23 03 2:13 PM)

    		According to the Oxford Companion to Law:

    "In general, ownership of land includes the airspace above and the subsoil below down to the centre of the earth, as expressed in the maxim 'Cuius est solum, eius est usque ad caelum et ad inferos'; but the mineral strata in the subsoil may be sold or leased or otherwise belong to another than the owner of the surface, and modern legislation renders the flight of aircraft through an owner's airspace not a trespass."
