Bermuda May be Linked to Diamond Deposits; How the Island Formed

Описание: The formation of the island of Bermuda may be linked to not only a series of diamond deposits but also to an underlying hotspot. Yet, there is a second theory which could reasonably explain Bermuda's formation which is far stranger. This video will explore both possibilities and discuss the formation of the large igneous province known as the Bermuda Rise.
