The Earth, a colossal sphere of semi-molten rock, harbors a fiery core as hot as the Sun's surface. Within its depths, heat from its birth and the decay of radioactive elements races towards the surface, channeled by rock currents spanning thousands of miles. The Earth's crust, a fragile shield against this inferno, is the only barrier standing in their way. But what happens when this shield is breached? Enter the supervolcanoes.
Have you ever wondered what hides within the enigmatic kimberlite rock formations, scattered across every continent? While they may not catch the eye at first glance, these geological marvels hold the secrets to one of Earth's most precious gems—diamonds. But the true mystery lies not in the stones themselves, but in the explosive volcanic eruptions that bring them to the surface. Why have these eruptions seemingly ceased? What triggers them, and why do they occur so long after a continent's breakup? Let's delve into the heart of this geological puzzle.
