What is a mineral scratch test?
In 1822 scientist Friedrich Mohs developed a scale to measure the hardness of minerals. A mineral will scratch other minerals softer than itself and will be scratched by minerals that are harder.
How well do a mineral resist scratching?
hardness.
How can one determine the hardness of a mineral using Mohs scale need explain the technique and what is Mohs scale?
The Mohs Scale of Hardness is used to measure hardness of a mineral, which is its resistance to scratching. It is a quantitative scale, which relies on the relative hardness of other minerals . Higher numbered minerals scratch lower numbered ones. You can use every day objects like a glass plate, a knife, or a nail to distinguish hard and soft. Hard minerals scratch glass, but can't be scratched with a knife blade of a nail. Soft minerals will not scratch glass, but can be scratched with a knife blade or masonry nail. You can purchase hardness kits to help make these distinctions.

What is the word used to describe the relative hardness of minerals?
The Mohs Scale is what is used to measure the relative hardness, or scratch resistance, of minerals. Mohs hardness often agrees with absolute hardness, which is another way of measuring the relative hardness of minerals.
