How are diamonds extracted from Kimberlite?
Diamonds ascend to the Earth's surface in rare molten rock, or magma that originates at great depths. Carrying diamonds and other samples from Earth's mantle, this magma rises and erupts in small but violent volcanoes. Just beneath such volcanoes is a carrot-shaped "pipe" filled with volcanic rock, mantle fragments, and some embedded diamonds. The rock is called kimberlite after the city of Kimberley, South Africa, where the pipes were first discovered in the 1870s. Another rock that provides diamonds is lamproite. The extraction process can take place at the mine site, where the excavated material is washed and tumbled. Because diamond is heaviest of all the materials mined, it falls to the bottom and is otherwise sorted from the mined materials.
What is the name of man made diamonds?
Man-made diamonds are often referred to as synthetic diamonds or lab-created diamonds.
Do diamonds have luster metallic?
Diamonds do not have a metallic luster; diamond luster is adamantine to waxy.
What is the Plural possessive form of the word volcanoes?
The plural possessive form of "volcanoes" is "volcanoes'".
What is the plural possessive of volcanos?
The plural possessive of "volcano" is "volcanoes'". This indicates that multiple volcanoes possess something.
What are the benefits to volcanoes?
The benefits of volcanoes are fertile land,obsidian,and diamonds and other jewels!
How do diamonds get to the surface?
Via rising molten magma or by mining.
Are diamonds made from volcanoes?
No, diamonds are not made from volcanoes. Diamonds are formed deep within the Earth's mantle under high pressure and temperature, typically found in kimberlite pipes that bring them to the surface through volcanic eruptions. Volcanoes can bring diamonds closer to the surface, but they are not the source of their formation.
What element are found in volcanoes in percent?
diamonds found inside the volcano
Do all volcanoes have diamonds?
No volcano produces diamonds. Diamonds are erupted to the surface of the earth through volcanic pipes, which look like upside-down volcanoes. These pipes erupt indicator minerals, some of which include diamonds.
Why isn't there a distribution of minerals around the world?
There isn't an even distribution of mineral throughout the world because (for example), diamonds are found near volcanoes, so diamonds wouldn't be found in a place with no volcanoes. Hope this helps:)
Are there any precious stones that come out of a volcanoes?
Some volcanoes, including Hawaii, occasionally produce sands which are composed of transparent green grains of the gemstone, peridot. On the Big Island, the sands mostly appear black except on a beach near the southernmost tip of the island.
Does Arkansas have any volcanoes?
Yes. Arkansas is the one of four places in North America where diamonds are mined, and the only place open to the public, and the diamonds found there are in a lamproite vein; that is, they are found in an extinct volcanic pipe at the Crater of Diamonds State Park.
Are there diamonds in volcanic tubes?
Only in some. Most diamond mines are in or near formations called Kimberlite Pipes, which form as a result of a rather unusual type of volcanic acvtivty that has not beem witnessed in human history. These volcanoes do not form the diamonds, but rather bring the diamonds up from great depths.
Do all volcanoes have kimberlite?
No, not all volcanoes have kimberlite. Kimberlite is a type of volcanic rock that often contains diamonds, but it is only found in specific geological settings. Other types of volcanoes can be composed of different types of magma and erupt different types of rocks.
What products are being produced by the people living near MtPinatubo as a result of the volcanoes most violent eruption?
the products are fertilizers, precious stones diamonds and cement from lahar
Are volcanoes helpful?
yes. Volcanoes can be helpful because: 1. The volcanic soils are the richest and you can earn a farmland. 2. It can bring diamonds from deep under the earth. 3. Lava and tuffs can be use for building. 4. Engineers use steam by rocks of the volcano to make electricity.
