Graphite has its own atomic structure of its basic carbon atoms. Subjecting it to very high temperature and pressure would not change its structure.
Carbon, when subjected to very high temperature and pressure can be crystallized into diamond structures.

What does graphite turn into when put under pressure?
Diamond, which like , graphite, is an allotrope of carbon . If you heat diamond it weill turn to graphite.
What does graphite turn into?
graphite with the right amount of pressure turns into a type of pearl or a diamond.
When graphite is under extreme heats and pressure long period time graphite turns into which minerals?
Diamond
Does anything turn into diamond?
When subjected to intense heat and pressure, coal can turn into diamonds.
Why are graphite and diamond considered different minerals?
Diamond and graphite are polymorphic - minerals with the same chemical formula but of different crystal structure. Both are made only of the element carbon. Because they form under different conditions of temperature and pressure, their crystal structure arranged differently. Hence, the vastly different physical properties.Diamonds and graphite are separate allotropes of carbon, different because of their atomic structures. Carbon formed as diamond is the hardest mineral on earth.
How does magma become a diamond?
It doesn't. Diamond forms when graphite deep within the earth is subjected to intense heat and pressure. Magma does not create the diamonds, but it brings then to the surface, where we can find them.
What does graphite turn into when put under pressure?

Is it true that if you squeeze sand really hard it will turn into a diamond?
no, you need to put graphite under extreme heat and pressure to make diamond. Another Answer: You are thinking of coal. When subjected to extreme pressure and intense heat, coal will eventually form diamond. Sand, when melted can turn into a glass.
What element is found as a diamond in the periodic table?
A diamond consists almost entirely of carbon, which has been subjected to tremendous temperature and pressure for a very long time.
Carbon as graphite can be made into diamonds by putting the graphite under extreme pressure Which of the two materials do you think has the greater density graphite or diamond?
diamond
What does graphite turn into?
graphite with the right amount of pressure turns into a type of pearl or a diamond.
Can all diamonds become graphite overtime?
Diamond is a form of carbon which has been subjected to heat and pressure. I don't think you can reverse the reaction. Much to the dismay of insurance companies diamonds reverts to carbon dioxide when subjected to extreme heat: a furnace will do it.
What type of carbon is a diamond?
Diamond is carbon, but the atoms are linked in a rigid, three- dimensional lattice, with 4 covalent bonds at each atom. Since there are no free electrons, diamond is a non- conducter. Graphite is only a two dimensional lattice, with a free electron called the pi- electron, which allows it to conduct electricity. The fact that the atoms are joined in sheets which freely slide over each other makes it a good lubricant.simply diamond is crytalline form of carbon.
When graphite is under extreme heats and pressure long period time graphite turns into which minerals?
Diamond
Does anything turn into diamond?
When subjected to intense heat and pressure, coal can turn into diamonds.
Can diamond convert to graphite and vice versa?
Diamond (and also graphite) is pure carbon, without iron. Heating graphite and subjecting it to intense pressure can make small industrial diamonds.
