What is the name of the scale we use to identify minerals?
The scale used to identify minerals is called the Mohs scale of mineral hardness. It ranks minerals from 1 (softest) to 10 (hardest) based on their ability to scratch or be scratched by other minerals.
What scale compares resistance of the surfaces of minerals to scratching?
The scale that compares the resistance of the surfaces of minerals to scratching is called the Mohs scale of mineral hardness. It ranks minerals on a scale from 1 (softest) to 10 (hardest) based on their ability to scratch or be scratched by other minerals.
What property of minerals is classified by the Mohs scale?
Relative hardness is the property of minerals that uses the Mohs scale for classification.
What is the scale for the Mohs hardness scale?
Granite is not assigned a number on the Mohs scale of hardness. The Mohs scale is a measurement of the relative hardness of minerals. Because granite is a rock composed of a variety of minerals, only the individual minerals which compose it have a Mohs hardness.
Mineral hardness scale name?
It is the Mohs scale of mineral hardness. It characterizes the scratch resistance of various minerals through the ability of a harder material to scratch a softer material. The scale assigns numbers 1-10. 10 being the hardest of minerals(e.g. diamonds), and 1 being the softest minerals(e.g. talc). Generally minerals with a H<5 are softer minerals and minerals H>5 are harder.
What scale is used to harness rocks and minerals?
the Mohs hardness scale
How many minerals are represented on the Mobs scale of mineral hardness. What is the range of hardness of thoses minerals?
Ten are represented and the scale is from 1-10.
Moh's scale identifies minerals by their relative?
The Mohs scale of mineral hardness characterizes the scratch resistance of various minerals through the ability of a harder material to scratch a softer material. Ithardnesses
What information does the Mohs hardness scale provide about the relative hardness of minerals?
The Mohs hardness scale provides information about the relative hardness of minerals by ranking them on a scale from 1 (softest) to 10 (hardest), based on their ability to scratch or be scratched by other minerals.
What is the Mohs scale used for, and how does it help in determining the hardness of minerals?
The Mohs scale is used to measure the hardness of minerals. It ranks minerals from 1 to 10 based on their scratch resistance. By comparing the hardness of an unknown mineral to the known hardness of minerals on the scale, one can determine the relative hardness of the unknown mineral.
