Colossal volcanic eruptions like the kind that may have obliterated the dinosaurs more than 65 million years ago are caused ...

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 ...

Volcanic eruptions can destroy essential infrastructure, ground air traffic for days, wipe out entire cities, disrupt the ...

Diamonds erupt from the deep as supercontinents break up. Now you can listen to the "song" of these kimberlite eruptions.

In the May 3 Nature, Head and volcanologist Lionel Wilson of Lancaster University in England describe a model of a kimberlite eruption that explains the resulting mix of diamonds, spherules, and ...

Diamonds form deep in Earth's crust, approximately 93 miles (150 kilometers) down. They are brought up to the surface very quickly in eruptions called kimberlites.

The results showed the eruptions of most kimberlite volcanoes occurred 20 to 30 million years after the tectonic breakup of Earth’s continents.

The scientists investigated how a process called 'fluidised spray granulation' can occur during kimberlite eruptions to produce well-rounded particles containing fragments from the Earth's mantle ...

This is what diamonds look like when they are trapped in kimberlite. Reuters However, if you're thinking of planning your next holiday to see a diamond eruption, think again. No human in history ...

Most diamonds are formed deep inside Earth and brought close to the surface in small yet powerful volcanic eruptions of a kind of rock called “kimberlite”. Our supercomputer modelling, published in ...

Geologists are proposing a new model for explaining the eruption of diamond-bearing kimberlites in Northern Alberta.

The results of our global study showed the eruptions of most kimberlite volcanoes occurred 20 to 30 million years after the tectonic breakup of Earth’s continents.
