Can you use Create Pit to pass through a floor/ground?
(assuming that there is a floor/dungeon/basement below the floor ground, and within range of the Create Pit's depth.)

no you can not, it's an extradimensional space, not a "hole in the ground".

For example you could cast it on a mountain and still get mudd inside the pit.

So even say that mountain is hollow and its stony walls are 10 feet thick, a 20 feet+ create pit won't reach it? It will just create a stone pit? (that happens to be 20 feet deep?)

Correct... think of it as a temporary Pit of Holding.

If you cast it at the bottom of a ship, you won't sink it. Nor will your victims fall into the ocean.

Exactly.

The way it works, you could be on the second floor of a house and cast create pit to make a 60 foot pit and have no effect on those on the first floor. They wouldn't even see anything. The pit is 2 dimensional with a 3 dimensional space inside.

Thanks all.

"The pit dimensional with a 3 dimensional space inside" made it pretty clear to me.
