Diamonds form under great pressure and heat in the mantle. The mantle surrounds the core. Diamonds are found in intrusive lava, (underground deposits)

The earths center is also called what?

The Earth's center is called the core. It includes a solid inner core and a liquid outer core composed mainly of iron and nickel. The core plays a crucial role in generating the planet's magnetic field.


Layer of liquid iron and nickel that surrounds earths inner core?

The layer you are referring to is the outer core of the Earth. It is composed mainly of liquid iron and nickel due to intense heat and pressure. The movement of this liquid outer core is responsible for generating the Earth's magnetic field.


What sphere Extends from Earths core to Earths Surface?

The sphere that extends from Earth's core to the surface is known as the geosphere. It encompasses the Earth's inner core, outer core, mantle, and crust, representing the solid and semi-solid components of the planet. The geosphere plays a crucial role in various geological processes, including plate tectonics and the rock cycle.


How many atoms does Jupiter have?

Interesting question!I can come somewhat close because the inner core of Jupiter is about 20,000 km in diameter and the atmosphere is 87% hydrogen. Assuming a mass of core some what like earths, an equality will do here.12,756 km/6 X 1024 kg = 20,000 km/X core mass Jupiter12,756X = 1.2 X 1029X = 9.4 X 1024 kg core Jupiter mass============================================A rough estimate!!


How is the structure of earth and the structure of a peach similar?

Sorry. The earths core reminds me of an apple. So here goes. In the center of the apple, there is a core, and that is the hardest a biggest part. So that is the earths core. The crust is the skin of the apple, and that is also the thinnest. The rest is the outer core and mantle.
