Graphite is a grayish-metalicish rock that leaves a dark gray streak, kind of like lead. often black.
A streak of graphite is the mark left on a surface when graphite is rubbed across it. It is typically a shiny, metallic gray color. Graphite's streak is often used as a diagnostic property to help identify minerals.
Graphite is just an allotrope of the element carbon, in that it is carbon in a different form. Graphite exists in a hexagonal planar structure which allows sheets of graphite to slide over each other easily which is what you see when you write; it is also used as a lubricant (though not in a vacuum) The allotropes of Carbon include diamond, graphite and fullerenes.
The color of a powdered sample of a rock is called its streak. Streak is determined by rubbing the sample across a rough white ceramic plate to reveal the color of the mineral's powder.
China is the largest producer of clay, accounting for a significant portion of the global production. For graphite, China is also a major producer, alongside countries like India and Brazil.
The most abundant resources of North Korea include coal, iron ore, limestone, magnesite, and graphite. These resources play a significant role in North Korea's economy and industrial production.
It takes multiple countries to make a pencil. For example, the wood may come from one country, the graphite from another, and the metal ferrule may come from yet another country. The components are then assembled in another location before the pencil is distributed globally.
Graphite is a mineral that does not leave a clear streak.
i have no idea..... but its probably a no .. take my advice.

The same color as the writing from a pencil, very dark grey or black. Pencils used to be made of graphite
Graphite
Graphite
White, but i have no idea why or how, it is used in white pencils replacing graphite and is used to write on black paper
The mineral graphite is soft enough to leave a mark on paper. We use graphite, which is a form of carbon, as pencil lead. And it works pretty darn well at leaving marks on paper.
Different minerals produce different colour powders (know as the mineral's 'streak') when scratched. For instance, hematite has a red streak, calcite has a white streak and graphite has a black streak. There is also variation within some minerals, depending on impurities. It should be noted that some minerals are too hard to be scratched by porcelain, and will instead powder the porcelain, producing a misleading white streak.
Graphite (I think)
because carbon graphite had carbon but graphite does not have carbon
what is the streak of sedimentary rocks
