in my opinion surface hardening is applied only on the surface while the true hardening is applied in the whole part of the metal....

What exactly is case hardening?
Case hardening, also referred to as surface hardening is the process of hardening a surface of a metal. It is done by surfacing the metal surface with a layer of metal on top of it, in order to harden it.
What is case hardening?
Case hardening or surface hardening is the process of hardening the surface of a metal, often a low carbon steel, by infusing elements into the material's surface, forming a thin layer of a harder alloy.
Is a rock with visible layers and no minerals likely to have formed lava hardening on Earth's surface?
yes
What has the author HC Child written?

How you can increase melting point of aluminium?
To increase the melting point of aluminium, (and treating this as a philosophical question), then hardening the 'crystal matrix' may be one approach. Surface hardening by work hardening, or perhaps by inserting nitrogen ions into the surface as is used in metal(ferrous) hardening.
What features form as a result of hardening beneath earth surface?
The features that form as a result of magma of magma hardening beneath the earth's surface are volcanic necks,sills and batholiths.
Is Surface hardening better method to use or Annealing when these methods are used to manufacture products from ferrous metals?
These are two different methods that are opposites. Surface hardening is used to stiffen a steel. Usually a steel is heated, a catalyst is applied to the surface and then the steel is quenched in an oil bath or waterbath, this hardens the surface of the steel. Annealing on the other hand, the steel is heated and then allowed to cool slowly. This softens the steel and allows it to be drawn or hammered to form a different shape.

What structures are formed from the cooling and hardening of magma beneaths earths surface?
Plutons

The different colors of the surface othe globe and what they represent?
the different color are blue and white blue represent for water and white represent for land surface is it true?
When light reflects off a rough surface it travels together in a different direction True or False?
True. When light reflects off a rough surface, the reflection is diffuse, meaning the light rays scatter in different directions. This is in contrast to a smooth surface where the reflection is more specular, and the light rays travel in a predictable direction.
