Fountain Of Diamonds Erupts Out Of The Earth

It’s also worth noting that we may not see another fountain of diamonds within our lifetime. For context, the supercontinent Pangea broke up nearly 175 million years ago. If the prevailing theory is correct, then a fountain of diamonds would erupted from the event roughly 125 million years ago. Since there hasn’t been a massive continental shift since Pangea, it’s difficult to know whether there will be a residual fountain of diamonds erupting any time soon. Conversely, these events are sudden and dramatic, and it’s possible that the kind of tectonic instability we’re talking about can lead to smaller eruptions that closely resemble the ones that have occurred in the past. Until we further understand the entire process, there’s no way to know for certain if these events will continue to happen at regular intervals.
