The vast majority of diamonds form within the Earth's lithospheric mantle at depths of around 150 to 190 km. Volcanic pipes bring them to the surface with kimberlite or lamproite in the pipes.

What causes the pressure that allows diamonds to form in the Earth's mantle?
The overburden load / self weight of the approximately 150 to 190 km of material that overlies the layer of the Earth's mantle where diamonds form creates the pressure required.
Which layer of the earth can have faults form?
the crust
What are facts about the Trophosphere?
Some facts about the Trophosohere is; it is where weather accurrs Earth is in this layer This is where clouds form It is the closet layer to earth and first and lowest
The layers of gases that form around earth are called?
The gases that surround Earth are called the Ozone layer.
Is there an abundance of diamonds on the earth?
This is a question without an answer. What is clear, however, is that extracting diamonds from the earth is expensive and dangerous: diamonds are not as common as air or water, for example. It is not possible to determine how many diamonds there may be on earth, but it may be accurate to write that diamonds are not necessarily 'in abundance' on earth.
What causes the pressure that allows diamonds to form in the Earth's mantle?
The overburden load / self weight of the approximately 150 to 190 km of material that overlies the layer of the Earth's mantle where diamonds form creates the pressure required.
What layer of the earth contains diamonds?
Diamonds are usually formed in the upper mantle.
Which layer of earth forms diamonds?
The vast majority of diamonds form within the Earth's lithospheric mantle at depths of around 150 to 190 km. Volcanic activity brings them to the surface in the form of volcanic pipes known as kimberlite or lamproite pipes.
Where did diamonds come form?
All diamonds come from deep within the earth's core.
What causes the pressure that allows diamonds form in the mantle?
Diamonds are believed to be formed about 90 miles below the surface of the Earth, in the mantle. So, the weight of the Earth above them creates the pressure to form diamonds.
Do diamonds form deep within the Earth?
Generally, diamonds are formed in the Earth and not from Supernovas.
Which layer of the earth can have faults form?
the crust
How far under the Earth's crust do diamonds form?
About 100 miles
What are the layers that form by gases in the air that are attracted to Earth called?
The layer of gases attracted to earth is atmosphere. It is a big layer.
Which layer of earth atmosphere does thunderstorms form?
troposphere
Where did the first diamond form?
Deep in the earth's mantel where all diamonds are formed.
What is the liquid earth layer?
The layer of the earth in liquid form is the mantle. It is made up of magma and lies directly beneath the earth's crust. This liquid is responsible for moving continents and earthquakes. It is the thickest layer of the earth.
