Diamonds form between 120-200 kms or 75-120 miles below the earth's surface. According to geologists the first delivery of diamonds was somewhere around 2.5 billion years ago and the most recent was 45 million years ago. That is a long time, my friend! According to science , the carbon that makes diamonds, comes from the melting of pre-existing rocks in the Earth's upper mantle. There is an abundance of carbon atoms in the mantle. Temperature changes in the upper mantle forces the carbon atoms to go deeper where it melts and finally becomes new rock, when the temperature reduces. If other conditions like pressure and chemistry is right then the carbon atoms in the melting crustal rock bond to build diamond crystals.

ReplyDeleteThey are made from the same subtance as coal but the atoms are arranged more tightly.
ReplyDeletethe carbon that makes diamonds comes from the melting of rocks in the Earth's upper mantle.
ReplyDeleteA diamond is made when carbon that has been melted many miles below the Earth's surface, cools down under extreme pressure.
ReplyDeletemost natural diamonds are formed at high pressure, high temperature conditions
ReplyDeleteCondensing carbon a lot. Right?
ReplyDeleteIt is made of a single element ( Carbon atoms)
ReplyDeletewhen carbon is pressured underground
ReplyDeletewhen carbon is cooled under extreme pressure beneath the earth
ReplyDeletecarbon is pressurized over time underground and crystalizes.
ReplyDeleteunderground carbon builds pressure over time causing it to explode out of the surface making it crystalize
ReplyDeletecarbon pressurized under ground

reactions in the ground!
ReplyDeletepressurized and heated carbon
ReplyDeletewhen high pressure builds up in the earth and mixes with magma and gases.

when a rock is melted then put under extreme pressure.
