Origin and patterns of diamondiferous kimberlite location

The obtained evidence of hot heterogeneous accretion of the Earth led to a fundamentally new solution to genetic problems of kimberlites and diamonds. According to these data, the impact heat generation during the accretion resulted in the formation of a global magmatic ocean. It is shown that the formation of kimberlites and their diamonds because of its fractionation is responsible for all numerous kimberlite features.
