What promotes greater hardness in minerals?
Minerals are what cause water to be hard, tap water in east coast(NJ) is harder than tap water in CA. More minerals=harder water
Are harder minerals more useful than softer minerals?
Not necessarily. Both harder and softer minerals have valuable uses depending on their properties. Harder minerals like diamonds are useful for cutting and grinding, while softer minerals like talc are used in products like talcum powder. It really depends on the specific application.
Why are dark minerals denser than white minerals?
That would mean coal is harder than Quartz schist. Granite is harder than graphite. No foundation for this assumption.
What is another way to use the word harder in work harder?
Try harder can be the other way to replace work harder, too.
Why is metamorphic rock hard?
because a metamorphic rock is made up of different rocks.
Are metallic minerals harder than nonmetallic ones?
thats what she said
Can talc scratch over minerals?
Talc is the softest mineral on the Mohs scale with a hardness of 1, so it can be easily scratched by harder minerals. Talc can scratch over minerals with a lower hardness value, but it cannot scratch minerals that are harder than itself, such as quartz or diamond.
Which is harder a rock or a mineral?
Minerals are naturally occurring substances with a specific chemical composition and crystal structure, while rocks are made up of one or more minerals. Therefore, determining which is harder depends on the specific rock and mineral being compared. In general, minerals tend to be harder than rocks due to their strong crystal structure.
Is quartz harder than copper?
Based on Moh's Scale of Hardness that identifies minerals, it is. Moh's Scale of HardnessTalcGypsumCalciteFluoriteApatiteOrthoclaseQuartzTopazCorundumDiamondIn this scale, 10 minerals are used as reference. These minerals are arranged from the softest (1) to the hardest (10). thxs
How do you get soft water and hard water?
Soft or hard water has to do with the amount of dissolved minerals in water and what those minerals are. "Harder" water has more dissolved minerals (like calcium.)
Can all minerals produce a streak on a porcelain plate?
Those minerals that are harder than the unglazed porcelain streak plate will scratch it rather than leave a streak.
Is calcite harder than gold?
It can be hard to remember the hardness levels of all the minerals and substances of the Earth. Calcite is something that is harder than gold.Ê
