Diamonds can be submerged in the ground
According to the latest research by American scientists, diamonds may not be as rare as we thought, but exist in the deep underground.

Diamonds can be numerous and deep in the ground
According to UPI, the study was conducted by scientists at John Hopkins University in the United States, published in the journal Nature yesterday. For a long time, scientists still believe that diamonds form in two ways, oxidizing methane gas or reducing CO 2 in lava flows or deep underground liquids. Both require special conditions of geochemistry, making diamonds rare and valuable.
However, according to geochemists at Johns Hopkins University, there is another easier, simpler and more normal way to create diamonds. Using chemical models, they proved that diamonds could form when water gradually increased acidity during the flow through different layers of Earth's rock.

"The more people learn, the more diamonds are found in different rocks, " said Dimitri A. Sverjensky, a geochemist at John Hopkins University, the author of the study. "I think, everyone must admit, more and more environments for diamond formation are discovered."
However, according to Sverjensky, diamonds formed in a simple way does not mean we can mass produce this way and then sell them to the market.
The new formation requires very high pressure and temperature conditions, about 900 to over 1,000 degrees Celsius, conditions that occur only in the deep crust in the Earth's heart. They are only pushed to the ground by volcanic lava. Moreover, their size is very small, micron size (one millionth of a meter), cannot be observed with the naked eye, can only be viewed through a microscope. Therefore, diamond cannot be exploited in this way.
Sverjensky's research is meant to help scientists gain more understanding of the dynamic currents deep in the Earth's heart , slow currents, a little unexplained part of the carbon cycle, the life cycle. on the earth.
