Best Answer

No volcano produces diamonds.

Diamonds are erupted to the surface of the earth through volcanic pipes, which look like upside-down volcanoes. These pipes erupt indicator minerals, some of which include diamonds.

Diamonds are not found in volcanoes. Diamonds are erupted to the earth's surface through volcanic pipes.

Volcanoes are formed with cones well above the earth's surface. Volcanic pipes are shaped in the inverse, with the top of the pipe being its largest area -- at the surface -- and the cone focused deep within the earth's mantle where diamonds are formed.

Diamonds, which are formed deep within the earth's mantle, are forced to the earth's surface through volcanic pipes, which are a special kind of volcano.

According to Wikipedia, "Volcanic pipes are relatively rare."

Diamonds are erupted to the earth's surface through volcanic pipes. These are flat at the earth's surface, with a cone originating deep underground.

Volcanoes with cones of elevation that rise above the surface do not contain diamonds.

No. Diamonds form deep underground under immense heat and pressure. They are then carried to the surface by volcanic activity.

No. Diamonds are formed by pressure deep within the earth. However, many diamonds are brought to the surface by volcanic activity.

Diamonds are formed from carbon deep within the earth's mantle. In order for the stones to be brought to the surface, a volcanic pipe must erupt.

Diamonds are produced by Mother Nature deep within the earth's mantel.

Volcanoes simply transport the diamonds to the surface by way of volcanic pipes.

Why isn't there a distribution of minerals around the world?

There isn't an even distribution of mineral throughout the world because (for example), diamonds are found near volcanoes, so diamonds wouldn't be found in a place with no volcanoes. Hope this helps:)


Are there any precious stones that come out of a volcanoes?

Some volcanoes, including Hawaii, occasionally produce sands which are composed of transparent green grains of the gemstone, peridot. On the Big Island, the sands mostly appear black except on a beach near the southernmost tip of the island.


Are diamonds made from volcanoes?

No. Diamonds are formed deep within the earth's mantel -- under enormous pressure and intense, high heat, then erupted to the surface by volcanic pipes.


Are shield volcanoes and volcanoes the same?

Not necessarily. Shield volcanoes are volcanoes, but not all volcanoes are shield volcanoes.


How do volcanoes affect the production of land masses?

It affects the land by creating new rocks and plants such as basalt and diamonds.


Can diamond form inside a volcano?

No. As the pressure at the relatively shallow depths where volcanoes occur is not high enough to form diamonds. However it is true that volcanic eruptions can cause diamonds to be erupted onto the surface but these diamonds were already formed at much greater depth.


What are diamonds make of?

How do crystals change into diamonds?

Diamonds are formed in a crystalline structure from carbon. Not all crystals are formed from carbon; not all crystals are diamonds.
