Description

Submit your geology project thesis and outline by the end of this week. (Refer to your original project assignment in Week 02, which provides a model outline.) Your thesis or hypothesis, the concept that you are interested in testing, should be provided as a sentence at the beginning of your outline. I'm attaching my previous project on the topic I chose, which is Crater of Diamonds State Park in Arkansas. Perhaps the concept we can test is how these Diamonds compare with diamonds of the world or something to that effect. I'm not that great at coming up with a great thesis. Also, if you take this project I'll be working with you weekly until the final paper so I hope that is ok. Thanks!

Topic Choice Crater of Diamonds State Park is the only diamond site in the world that let’s everyday individuals mine for diamonds and keep what they find ("Crater of Diamonds," n.d.). It’s also only one of two diamond mines in the United States, and being as it’s in my home state I was intrigued by how in all the areas of the world for diamonds to be found, Arkansas is one of them. Getting into the history of the geology of the state will shed so much light on how diamonds are in abundance here, and I’m looking forward to the discovery and research.

Week 5 Theology Project-Thesis and Outline
Thesis
It is true that the geology of the Crater of Diamonds State Park is such that there is a
consistent gas phase reaction resulting from the redox reaction of carbon monoxide and
carbon dioxide in the upper mantle, which leads to the formation of diamonds.
1. Formation of the Diamonds
a. Redox reaction of carbon monoxide
This section will prove the fact that the redox mechanism can explain the contrasting
heterogeneity of natural diamonds on the composition of inclusions, composition of isotopes
of carbon. It will look at the reactions that take place when a carbonate-bearing crust is
subducted to the internal layers of the earth, where the mantle is saturated with metals. At gas
phase, there are interactions between the oxidized slab and the metal saturated mantle.
b. Redox reaction of carbon dioxide
This section will look at the gas phase reaction resulting from the redox reaction of carbon
dioxide. Having more oxygen molecules to donate as compared to carbon monoxide, the gas
phase reaction resulting from the reduction of carbon dioxide is more reactive as compared to
that of carbon of monoxide and may lead to the thrust of the metal components to the surface
of the earth, which include diamond.
2. Geology of Subduction Tectonics
a. Subduction tectonics
This section will look at how subduction tectonics play an important role in the evolution
of the interior of the earth and the global carbon cycle as a way of understanding the
development of the geology of Crater of Diamonds State Park in Arkansas. The section will
show that the results of high pressure redox reactions that take place along a concentration
gradient impact on the interactions between Mg-Ca-CO3 and metallic ions, which models the
