Diamonds travel at 60 km per hour inside Earth

Diamond infused magma to travel to the outside from deep inside the planet in a sweltering 60 km per hour.

Rising magma in the Earth's layer is thought to climb a few centimeters a year.

It was known that the kimberlite, which often contain diamonds that can grow faster near the outside, but the speed of deep waters was indistinct.

And now, Masayuki Nishi and generation at Kyushu University in Fukuoka, Japan, spent mineral Garnet as a speedometer.

Garnet inclusion that forms in the diamond is stable at lowest point between 400 and 700 miles, but partially split at lower pressure and temperature.

The researchers synthesize garnet in heated, pressurized containers and measured how quickly it breaks down as hotness and force was lowered, simulating the ascent through the Earth's layer.

And the number of decay optional that a grenade-added rhombus to come to the surface, it would take flanked by hours and days to travel from a depth of 400 km.

A rapid ascent device can be found at greater depths than ever consideration, quoting New Scientist Nishi said.
