How do the sequences of sedimentary rocks in cratons differ from those in mountain belts?
The sequences of sedimentary rocks in cratons are typically thin and are relatively undeformed or gently warped. The sequences in mountain belts, meanwhile, are thick and extensively folded and faulted.
What are cratons?
The part of a continent that is stable and forms the central mass of the continent; typically Precambrian.
What are the ancient continent cores called?
Areas of ancient continental interiors are called cratons.
Do cratons contain diamonds if so how do they get there?
According to Wikipedia, a craton is an "...old and stable part of the continental lithosphere" -- the earth's outermost rocky shell. Kimberlite pipes, where diamonds are commonly found, are sometimes rooted in cratons. You can read more by following the link, below.
What is the geologic name of the areas with the least amount of earthquake activity?
Cratons, large geologically stable areas in continental interiors.

What do cratons do?
Cratons contain the ancient crust of igneous rocks.
The ancient continent cores are called?
cratons

What areas are dimonds mined from?
Old Continental cratons with diatremes or in sediments derived from such.

Where on earth are diamonds normally found?
In old areas of continental crust called "cratons" in volcanic structures called "kimberlite pipes".
What are some facts about interior plains?
It was formed when cratons collided and welded together.I dont know if he is right but i think that he is really good I dont know what it means.
