A diamond is a metamorphic rock formed from carbon. Diamond formation requires intense heat and extreme pressure, which naturally occurs deep underground.

What can contain water that is deep underground?

Deep underground, water can be contained in porous rock formations such as aquifers, which are layers of rock that can hold and transmit water. Another way water can be contained underground is in underground water reservoirs or natural underground chambers created by geologic processes like caves or caverns.


What igneous rock cools deep underground?

Granite is an igneous rock that cools deep underground. It is formed from the slow cooling of molten rock below the Earth's surface, allowing large mineral grains to form.


Can metamorphic rocks turn into diamonds?

Yes, diamonds are formed deep underground under high pressure and temperature conditions. Metamorphic rocks are one of the rock types where diamonds can be formed, typically through the process of metamorphism of carbon-bearing rocks like shale or limestone. However, not all metamorphic rocks can turn into diamonds as specific geological conditions are required for their formation.


What is the result of cooling and hardening of magma deep underground?
