Where is marble on the hardness scale?
Marble ranges from 2-5 on Moh's scale.add. There are several hardness scales other than Mohs, which is an arbitrary scale of hardness. .There is a Janka scale for wood, but be careful of the units used.There is a Rockwell scale for the Hardness of steel. This measurement leaves little mark (impression).There is a Brinell hardness scale which forces a hard steel ball into the test piece. This method leaves an impression on the test piece, but can be calibrated for steel, wood, and other metals.The Vickers Hardness test uses a diamond indenter, and is often used for hard materials such as case-hardened material.[Rockwell, Brinell, and Vickers have tables of equivalence.]And, last of all is a hardness test for paints and similar. This test, BS3900 - E19, ISO 15184, uses ordinary pencils of various hardness to determine the hardness of the paint film.
What is used to determine placement on the Richter scale?

How rocks can be identified by hardness?
The hardness of a rock is identified using Mohs Scale of Hardness. Certain rocks and minerals have a predetermined hardness level based on this scale, which uses the obvious logic that if something scratches something else, then it must be harder than that which it scratches. Likewise, if something doesn't scratch something else, it must be softer than that which it cannot scratch. Using a scale from 1 to 10, common objects can be used to determine hardness level. A fingernail, for example, has a hardness of 2.5. Any rock that can be scratched by a fingernail (talc, for example) has a hardness less than 2.5. A streak plate, which is commonly used for hardness tests, has a hardness of 6.5. Diamonds, the hardest minerals, define the 10 on the hardness scale. Using these common objects and their related hardnesses, one can easily identify the rock in question.
