Diamond is a mineral form of carbon. It is not a metamorphic rock, but a mineral formed from extreme heat and pressure.
Both igneous and metamorphic rocks are formed by pressure and some kind of heat
No, Bella survives by being transformed into a vampire and keeps the baby.
It is not possible to get a Lugia egg in Pokemon Diamond. It is generally impossible to get an egg of a Legendary Pokemon the only exceptions being Manaphy and Phione.
It is a 10 on the Moh hardness scale. This is very convenient as diamond is the definition of 10 on that particular hardness scale.
No... so sorry. Next time SAVE before you try to catch a legendary being that you can't see again if you defeat it. You won't ever get Uxie unless you trade. But at least Uxie was registered in your pokedex.
Pressure and heat from being buried under mountains.
Diamond is not a metamorphic rock. It is a mineral composed of carbon that forms under high pressure and temperature in the Earth's mantle. Diamonds are then brought to the surface through volcanic activity.
Yes due to it being under pressure and heat. Metamorphic rock is rock that has been transformed chemically and/or physically due to extreme heat and pressure. Marble qualifies because it is composed of recrystallized carbonate minerals, typically dolomite and/or calcite (think limestone) that has been transformed by the heat and pressure present when it was deep in the crust
The essential force in the metamorphic rock formation is pressure. The needed changes are driven by changes in the physical measures of temperature and pressure. As these conditions change, alterations in the composition of the minerals and textures follow.
Not necessarily. However, consumers interested in verifying the quality of a diamond, and verifying that the diamond is not a blood diamond, will require a certificate from a certified gemologist, and a Kimberly Certificate, respectively.

Metamorphic rock can vary in texture, with some being rough due to the presence of mineral grains and others being smooth due to recrystallization of minerals during the metamorphic process. The texture of metamorphic rock depends on factors such as the original rock type and the intensity of heat and pressure.
Being transformed is being used as a verb
Yes. There are degrees of rock metamorphism, where a metamorphic rock can be altered into another metamorphic rock by increased pressure and heat.
After being mined, diamonds are sent to sorting facilities where they are categorized based on quality and size. From there, they are sent to diamond cutting and polishing centers where they are transformed into polished gems. Finally, they are sent to diamond dealers and retailers for sale to consumers.
Granite becomes metamorphic by being subjected to immense heat and pressure, turning into gneiss.
The three main rock types are igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic. Igneous rocks are formed from cooled and solidified magma, sedimentary rocks are formed from the accumulation of sediment, and metamorphic rocks are formed from the alteration of existing rocks due to heat and pressure. The rock cycle is a continuous process where these three types of rocks are constantly being transformed from one type to another through processes like weathering, erosion, and heat and pressure.
