I am doing a research on diamonds and need help. I am having trouble finding a source that answers my questions besides Wikipedia. My teachers will not let us use Wikipedia. Can you please provide links to these questions?
1.
Where is the natural resource (diamonds) located? Is it found in Canada and/or the United States?
**I have already found where diamonds are found in the U.S., I need help with Canada on this one.
2.
Does the natural resource have to be changed or processed before it can be used by people or machines?
**Both US and Canada.
3.
How does the country regulate the gathering or use of the natural resource?
**Both US and Canada
Thanks so much!

Okay thanks! So

Jericho, Ekati, Diavik, Snap Lake, and Victor
2.
Yes it has to be processed (I will explain why)
3.
Diamonds are imported; the Kimberly Process Certification Scheme is also used.
**I will write everything in greater detail, but those are my basic ideas.
The first two look good.
For 3, you need to look at the laws in each country about mining, processing and using diamonds.
Okay will do! Is it okay if you help me on a few others? Please!
Which consumers use this natural resource?
Which products are made using this natural resource?
How is the environment impacted by the use of the natural resource?
How important is the natural resource to the country?
Why?
**I really have researched, I have spent 2 hours already! Its just.....I am never able to find anything that answers my questions!
Think, Delilah! You know how diamonds are used and who uses them. You may not know about some of these uses, though.

You're welcome.
Of course! I'm here to help you find alternative sources to answer your questions about diamonds. Instead of using Wikipedia, you can explore various reliable sources to gather information. Here are a few suggestions:
1. Where is the natural resource located, specifically in Canada?
a) The Canadian Diamond Mining Association (CDMA) provides valuable information about diamond mining in Canada. You can visit their official website to explore various resources and publications related to Canadian diamond mines: https://www.cdma.ca/
b) The Government of Canada's official website also provides information about the country's mining industry, including diamond mining. You can start by visiting the "Minerals and mining" section: https://www.canada.ca/en/services/business/natural-resources/mining.html
2. Does the natural resource have to be changed or processed before it can be used?
a) The Gemological Institute of America (GIA) is a reliable source for information about the diamond industry and gemology. They provide educational materials regarding various aspects of diamonds, including processing and treatments. You can visit their website to explore their extensive resources: https://www.gia.edu/
b) Research papers and academic journals from reputable databases, such as JSTOR or ScienceDirect, also publish articles on diamond processing. Access to these databases may require a subscription through your educational institution.
3. How does each country regulate the gathering or use of the natural resource?
a) The Government of Canada's official website, mentioned earlier, provides information on regulations and policies related to the mining industry, including diamonds. Look for sections related to mining regulations or specific information on diamond mining.
b) For the United States, the official website of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) offers valuable insights into the regulations and management of mineral resources. Visit their website and navigate to the "Minerals" section to find relevant information: https://www.usgs.gov/
Remember, while using these sources, it's essential to critically analyze the information and ensure it is from reputable and authoritative sources. This will help you find accurate information for your research.
