By blotting out the sun with dust clouds, an impact on an already chilly Earth could set off runaway cooling, models suggest.
Professor Thomas Gernon has suggested supercontinents could break apart sending 'kimberlites' which consist of rock containing diamonds flying form the centre of the Earth
Scientists from the University of Southampton in the United Kingdom uncovered geological events responsible for the phenomenon known as "fountains of diamonds," shedding light on how the precious gems make their way to the Earth’s surface. Diamonds Moving At Over 80 MPH Diamonds are formed deep within the Earth’s upper mantle, and a phenomenon called kimberlites plays a crucial role in bringing them to the surface. Kimberlites are volcanic eruptions that bring material from within the earth towa
Diamonds seem to reach Earth's surface in massive volcanic eruptions when supercontinents break up, and they form when continents come together.
