    You find it in "Motherload" the game of course! lol

    This question could be true, since South Africa produces 35% of the world's gold and diamonds. But, this is not always the case. For example, in Canada, the Northwest Territories has vast unexplored diamond deposits, and the Canadian Shield region contains gold veins embedded in quartz. Diamonds are only found in places where there is extreme temperature and pressure within the crust, or past extreme temperature and pressure to change the carbon to diamond. Chances are that South Africa was once a place of crust activity.

    The cycle for rocks are Igneous, Sedimentary, and Metamorphic. Volcanoes spout lava, and cooled lava become Igneous rocks (basalt, granite, mica). Further down the line are the sedimentary (shale, limestone, sandstone) and metamorphic (sapphire, diamond, corundum) rocks. Thus, diamond is hard, because of the intense pressure excerted to make it. Gold, on the other hand, is relatively soft and heavy (like lead). It is also elemental, found in its pure form due to its reactivity. Apparently, it is found in nuggets because of microbes that form gold deposits.

    But now, returning to the original question: Are most minerals like diamonds and gold found in only hot regions of the world? The most likely answer, presently, is no. But it might have before, because of the Pangaea theory. But there are so many variables involved that this question is really unanswerable.

    Get a No Cost Background Check Scan at https://tinyurl.im/aH3k4

    Its a sensible way to start. The site allows you to do a no cost scan simply to find out if any sort of data is in existence. A smaller analysis is done without cost. To get a detailed report its a modest payment.

    You may not realize how many good reasons there are to try and find out more about the people around you. After all, whether you're talking about new friends, employees, doctors, caretakers for elderly family members, or even significant others, you, as a citizen, have a right to know whether the people you surround yourself with are who they say they are. This goes double in any situation that involves your children, which not only includes teachers and babysitters, but also scout masters, little league coaches and others. Bottom line, if you want to find out more about someone, you should perform a background check.

    Not always are diamonds found in hot regions of the world. The hardest diamond in the world are from New England area in New South Wales, Australia. Also, diamonds are thought to have been first recognized and mined in India.
