Basically it because diamonds are made from squashed carbon particles which happen to be one of the most solid elements

Why are diamonds used in drill bits?
They are used in bits that cut stone or tile.
How are diamonds used in a rock drill?
A rock drill may be tipped with industrial diamonds, because the diamond tip makes the drill harder than the rock(s). Diamond is the hardest natural mineral on Earth.
Why is diamond used in drill bits?
Diamonds are widely used in the tool industry to tip drill bits and to edge blades that cut tile, stone and rock.
What are some uses of diamonds in the industry?
Because diamonds are the hardest mineral, industrial diamonds are used to drill, polish and otherwise cut, finish and fashion other materials, including other diamonds.
Why do geologists use drill bits covered with small diamonds to drill into earth's crust?
the diamonds are the strongest natural material on earth. these drills can drill through anything
What are some of the use of diamond?
Because diamonds are the hardest mineral, industrial diamonds are used to drill, polish and otherwise cut, finish and fashion other materials, including other diamonds.
What can we make out of diamonds?
They are used to harden tools like drill bits etc, although they use synthetic
What can drill holes in diamonds and perform eye surgery?

Why do you think geologists use drill bits covered with small diamonds to drill into the earths crust?
Well, diamonds are hard minerals, and if they are used in a drill, it could help with the power given and make the course, and power of the drill increase. Diamonds are minerals and they are found in South Africa. You dig them up and they are contained in a rock called "kimberlite" after that you give the shape, size and polish the diamond. They may use them for other things, not only jewelry. They are also used in: Telecommunication, rock drill bit, mine shack..... This information is true, i will post more soon! ;)
Why do you think geologists use drill bits covered with small diamonds to drill into earth's crust?
Geologists use drill bits covered with small diamonds because diamonds are the hardest natural substance and can effectively drill through hard rocks in the Earth's crust. The diamonds on the drill bits help to create a clean and precise hole without getting worn out easily compared to other materials. This allows geologists to obtain core samples for studying the composition and structure of the Earth's crust.
Why would you use a drill bit coverd in a small diamonds tp a drill into earths crust?
They use diamonds because they are virtually indestructible and they do not blunt-en very quickly but these days they use synthetic diamonds that do nearly the same job at a fraction of the cost
What mineral would be useful as a drill bit?
Diamonds are quite helpfull.
