Diamonds don't 'form' in river beds or in the sea bed where some are found. Diamonds are propelled into river beds and to the sea by water that flows over the kimberlite pipe where the diamonds are formed.
Diamonds found in water are generally referred to as alluvial stones, meaning deposited in the water over a long period.
What else can I help you with?
Diamonds are pure form from what element?
Diamonds are the crystaline form of Carbon.
What does water have to do with diamonds?
Two ideas come to mind when combining the words 'water' and 'diamonds'.First. is an older description of colourless stones, said to be water diamonds for their clarity.Second, is alluvial diamonds, found in river beds and in ocean water where rivers empty into them. The stones have been picked up by the water and moved downstream with other silt, after flowing over a diamond pipe.
Can diamonds be melted and transformed into a different form?
Yes, diamonds can be melted at extremely high temperatures and transformed into graphite, which is a different form of carbon.
Do you breathe out diamonds in their gas state?
No, breathing out diamonds in their gas state is not possible. Diamonds are a solid form of carbon and cannot exist as a gas in the way that oxygen, nitrogen, or other gases do. This concept does not align with the properties of diamonds.
What causes the pressure that allow diamonds to form in the mantel?
Diamonds form in the mantle due to high pressure and temperature conditions. The pressure is created by the overlying rock layers pressing down on the carbon-containing minerals, causing the carbon atoms to form the strong bonds necessary for diamond crystal structure to develop. Additionally, the high temperatures in the mantle aid in the transformation of carbon into diamonds.
Where does sedimentary rock almost always form?
River beds
Where can you find diamonds other than a kimberlite pipe?
Natural diamonds from the Earth originate in kimberlite pipes, and can be swept away by water or glaciers. This means that some diamonds are found in river beds and at the mouths of rivers as they empty into salt water.
Placer deposits form when?
Placer deposits form when minerals are eroded from their original source rocks and are then transported by water and deposited in areas where the flow velocity decreases, such as river beds, beaches, or valleys. These deposits often contain valuable minerals such as gold, diamonds, and heavy metals.
Diamonds are pure form from what element?
Diamonds are the crystaline form of Carbon.
What is the possessive form of the word diamonds?

What causes wide river channels?

The Huang River constantly threatens to flood because of the buildup of in its river beds?
The Huang River constantly threatens to flood because of the buildup of silt in its river beds. Silt deposits make the bed of the river higher causing flooding.
Which river brought diamonds to the Namib Desert?
The orange river.
Do river beds get smaller as you go downstream?
Not necessarily.
Do diamonds form from iron?
No, diamonds are formed from carbon.
Formation of potholes in river beds is an example of?
