How are ores near the earths surface removed?

Ores that are near the Earth's surface can be obtained by scraping away the soil, blasting the ore into small pieces, and removing it with heavy equipment and taking it to smelting plants. Ores that are located deep in the Earth must be mined from tunnels in deep rock.


What are genuine diamonds?

Genuine (natural) diamonds are formed deep within the earth's mantle, erupted to the surface through volcanic pipes and mined or gathered. Genuine (man-made) diamonds are formed in laboratories that attempt to mimic the conditions deep within the earth -- extreme high pressure and ultra high temperature -- and are manufactured over time. About 80% of all diamonds mined are industrial diamonds. Raw gem-quality diamonds are cut and polished into jewels. All diamonds are formed from carbon.


Can diamonds be found in creeks?

In rare cases, diamonds have been found in creeks. The rain water will push them to the surface. Usually the diamonds are mined from deep in the earth.


What land forms are diamonds in?
