THE JOURNEY OF DIAMONDS By some researchers from the University of Bristol and the Carnegie Institution have an idea:THE DIAMONDS HAVE JOURNEY TO CENTER OF EARTH. Actually, some people think that diamonds are a symbol of deep love and now it becomes true. Brasilian diamonds can flow to the undersea lava it means the earth carbon cycle which is associated with the recyling diamonds.The purpose of this recyle is to reach deeper parts of the earth. In the originates mantle contains less carbon-13 by the super deep diamonds the less carbon-13 number will decrease much by this way we can easily reach the deeper parts of earth. In the lava eruptions from the surface of oceans’ floor showed a fingerprint which is diamond on the basalt rock. The researchers think that by the quality of reaching deep of the earth the scientist send different chemicals to find different ways to solve earth’s another problem.

Magnets stick together because they have a magnetic field around them, and this field both pulls on and pushes away other magnets. You’ve realized that when you played with magnets like those that stick to your refrigerator, you know that sometimes they stick to each other, but that they also can push each other away, depending on which way the magnets. Each magnet has a north pole and a south pole and the north end of one magnet will stick to the south end of another magnet. But if two north poles or two south poles are placed near each other, the magnets will push each other away. But, ıs this really the answer of why magnets stick together? Definitely NO. The explanation above doesn’t inform you about HOW magnets pull and push on each other. To find out the answer of sticking in magnets, firstly we need to think about what creates a magnetic area. As we mentioned the magnets on your refrigerator, always have a magnetic field what is called as permanent magnets. The secret of permanent magnets is in the material they’re made of, which usually is metal that contains a lot of iron. All those materials are made up of atoms, which contains electrons, protons and neutrons. And electrons are like some small copies of magnets. In most materials the magnetic clouds of electrons move in all different directions, so they neutralize each other and there is no large magnetic field. But in iron and a few other metals, these countless small magnets moves in approximately the same direction. Each magnetic area adds to and reinforces all the others. The total effect creates a noticeable magnetic field, which will pull and push on other, nearby magnets. Also, we can create a magnetic field with moving electric charges. Electric charges that are standing still exert same electric forces on the objects around them. But electric charges that are moving exert changing electric forces on the objects around them. If the changing electric forces are all added up as the charges go by, the result is a magnetic field. And all theese progresses explain the answer of the question nearly.
