Why is granite harder than marble?
Feldspar and quartz, with a hardness of 6 and 7 on the Mohs Scale respectively, are the minerals that give granite its abrasion resistance. Its hardness is due to the interlocking crystal structure as it cools from melt, making it among the hardest of rock types.
What is an example of abrasion weathering?
Abrasion is a Physical /Mechanical weathering .Abrasion is the process of wearing down or rubbing away.
Resistance of a mineral to abrasion is known as?
The resistance of a mineral to being scratched is known as its 'hardness'. This is a relative measurement determined by whether it scratches, or is scratched by, other materials of determined hardness. Hardness is measured on the Mohs scale. To give to some idea, diamond (the hardest known mineral) is a 10, while talc (the softest) is 1. A copper coin is around 3, a fingernail is around 2, an iron nail is around 5. Quartz, for example, is a 7.
Is abrasion chemical or mechanical?
Abrasion is mechanical. It means rubbing or sanding.
What type of weathering is abrasion?
For a fact abrasion is weathering it is machanical weathering
What is abrasion resistance?
abrasion resistance is the resistance in abrasion
What are two words for friction?
Abrasion, Resistance
What is unit of abrasion resistance?
Mohs scale
Abrasion index the higher is means that marble or granite has better resistance to abrasion forces?
Partly yes, although Abrasion Index is specific to the mineral's effect on crushing and grinding equipment; more specifically to the consumable metal parts involved (cones, liners, balls/rods, etc.). It is a factor used to determine the effective rate of wear of the aforementioned consumables.
What are the disadvantages of low carbon steel?
Abrasion resistance is low.
Which has more air resistance a feather or marble?
a feather has

How has kevlar been improved over the years?
Kevlar has improved the abrasion resistance, tear strength, modulus, chip resistance and rubber strength.
What is a typical textile abrasion resistance?
ASTM D 123 describes as followsAbrasion, n---the wearing away of any part of a material by rubbing against another surface.ASTM also has prescribed several methods to quantify abrasion resistance of textile materials these tests areASTM D 4966 -- 98 Standard Test Method for Abrasion Resistance of Textile Fabrics (Martindale Abrasion Tester Method)ASTM D 3884 Test Method for Abrasion Resistance of Textile Fabrics (Rotary Platform, Double-Head Method)3ASTM D 3885 Test Method for Abrasion Resistance of Textile Fabrics (Flexing and Abrasion Method)3ASTM D 3886 Test Method for Abrasion Resistance of Textile Fabrics (Inflated Diaphragm Method)3ASTM D 4157 Test Method for Abrasion Resistance of Textile Fabrics (Oscillatory Cylinder Method)3ASTM D 4158 Test Method for Abrasion Resistance of Textile Fabrics (Uniform Abrasion Method)3AATCC Test Method 93 Abrasion Resistance of Fabrics: Accelerator Method4In All of the above materials the tested specimen is rubbed is a particular manner against an abradent which may be a fabric, or a emery sheet or like for either a certain amount of time for for a certain number of strokes or cycles.At the end of the testing period , any change that may occur to the tested specimen normally 3 types of changes are looked for1. Mass Loss2. Color Change3. Hole formation or yarn breakageThe Earlier these changes occur the poorer the resistance to abrasion.Factors loke thickness of fabric, piles, any pretreatment to reduce or increace surface friction , etc all have a profound effect on the Abrasion resistance.In real life, trousers in case of apparel and Upholstery are subject to more abrasion than fabrics used in any other domestic use. In case of fabrics used for industrial application like belts etc are required to have very high abrasion resistance.ReferencesASTM International Book of Standards Volume 7.01 and 7.02AATCC Technical Manual - 2009
What causes a marble to stop moving?
Friction and air resistance.
Is silicon carbide is used for increasing the impact strength of the material?
No. Silicon carbide is used for abrasion resistance and traction.
