Definition1/9
The weight of the rocks above the mantle results in high pressure. Diamonds need high temperatures and pressure to form from carbon. Diamonds form in the mantle in certain zones where conditions are right for them to do so.
There just happens to be the right critical temperature-pressure-mineral environment in the mantle in certain zones for their formation.

The magnitude 9.0 earthquake (originally reported as 8.9) on
Friday, March 11, 2011 happened near the east coast of Honshu,
Japan. According to USGS, the epicenter of the quake was reported
to be 129 kilometers (80 miles) off the east coast of the Oshika
Peninsula, TÅhoku near Sendai.
In was reported that the earthquake created tsunami waves of up
to 10 meters (33 ft) that struck Japan, with smaller waves in many
other countries, with a significant surge and damage as far away as
Chile, on the opposite side of the world from Japan. In Japan, the
waves are reported to have traveled up to 10 kilometers (6 miles)
inland.
