"Earth's Spectacular Fountain of Diamonds"

A possible upcoming geological event may result in a fountain of diamonds bursting through Earth’s crust in the form of a kimberlite eruption, which occurs roughly 30 million years after a massive tectonic shift. This explosive event is caused by tectonic plate separation, creating a volatile reaction between Earth’s upper mantle and lower crust, and could reach speeds up to 133 kilometers per hour. While these events are rare and may not occur within our lifetime, understanding the process could aid in finding new diamond deposits on other continents.
