How many kimberlite pipes are in botswana?
This is impossible to answer with a finite number, because there may be undiscovered Kimberlite pipes in Botswana.
What is a craton and what is a kimberlite pipe and how are they linked to the discovery of the diamond?
A craton is 'an old and stable part of the lithosphere' -- the earth's crust. One class of inclusions in the formation of the earth's crust when subductions of crust were folded into the deep, kimberlite diamond areas that lie about 150-450 K below the surface. Diamonds as we know them are exploded to the earth's surface through kimberlite pipes, which are carrot shaped and widest at the surface. Although not all kimberlite pipes are sources for diamonds, most diamonds are found in areas where kimberlite pipes occur.
What kind of minerals can diamonds be found in?
Diamonds are associated with carbon as it is one of the allotropes of carbon. Answer:Diamonds are often found in Kimberlite
What is the method used when locating one's position on a map if you are located on a linear feature on the ground such as a road canal or stream?
Modified resection
What are geographical conditions where diamonds can be found?
The conditions are not so much geographical as they are geological. Since diamonds are erupted to the earth's surface by a specific type of volcanism with other trace minerals, geologists look for these trace minerals. Kimberlite is a rock produced by this type of volcanism, and is where diamonds are found in, or eroded from. Only about one in 200 kimberlite-trace-mineral sites include diamonds.
What is at least one thing in nature that contains diamonds?
Kimberlite can contain diamonds.

Why kimberlite might be found in diamonds?
Kimberlite is the natural structure within which diamonds are found (kimberlite "pipe"). A Kimberlite pipe is the normal underground site(s) of a diamond bearing geologic formation.Another AnswerKimberlite is a mineral, called a trace mineral, because in one out of 200 cases, when kimberlite is found, diamonds are also found. Why? Because the geological processes required to form diamonds also forms kimberlite, which is a 'potassic volcanic rock' according to Wikipedia.

What is the effect of western kimberlite in the diamond processing?
Your question is confusing. By 'western kimberlite' one can assume that you mean the discovery of kimberlite indicator minerals in 'the west' -- specifically, Canada. Kimberlite, as an indicator mineral, signals the potential presence of diamond minerals. In the past 20 years, diamond mining in Canada has become an integral, extractive industry -- essentially a new industry. This development has presented significant competition to the DeBeers 'cartel', previously the most significant 'player' in the diamond mining industry -- with primary operations in Africa. As well, the diamond industry in Australia has become prominent. Depending on your locale, Australia may also be considered west. Finally, kimberlite has no effect on diamond processing, which occurs after the diamonds are mined. Kimberlite simply indicates where to mine.
What type of rock is diamond found in?
Diamonds are erupted to the earth's surface through volcanic pipes. Indicator minerals indicate the potential presence of diamond in about one out of every 200 locations.From Wikipedia, below:". . .Certain indicator minerals typically occur within diamantiferous kimberlites and are used as mineralogical tracers by prospectors. . ."
What kind of minerals can diamonds be found in?
Diamonds are associated with carbon as it is one of the allotropes of carbon. Answer:Diamonds are often found in Kimberlite

What geologic feature seems to be a common location for finding diamonds?
Kimberlite pipes are a common geologic feature where diamonds are found. These cylindrical volcanic rock formations bring diamonds to the Earth's surface from deep within the mantle. Diamonds are typically formed under high pressure and temperature conditions, and kimberlite pipes are one of the few mechanisms for bringing them to the surface.
How are Diamonds located?
Visually, there are trace minerals that indicate a volcanic pipe, which might contain diamonds. The trace minerals include kimberlite, and only one kimberlite pipe in 200 yields gem-quality diamonds. You can read more, below.
