Is diamond a metamorphic rock why?
Garnet is a non-hydrous mineral, meaning it will form in environments where there is very little water. During the metamorphosis of a rock, as it's being squeezed and compacted by high pressures and heated by high temperatures, the water is driven out and the minerals that contain water are transformed to minerals with a different chemical composition that do not contain water, such as garnet.
Are diamonds made deep underground in a rock?
A diamond is a metamorphic rock formed from carbon. Diamond formation requires intense heat and extreme pressure, which naturally occurs deep underground.
What kind of rock is formed with heat and pressure?
Metamorphic rocks, like slate or quartizite, or even diamonds.
