Because it is harder than glass. It is actually the hardest of all minerals.
Yes.
Real diamonds will cut glass, though there is speculation that some fake diamonds can cut glass, and that you can damage a real diamond by cutting glass with it. Another way to tell is to hold the diamond up in the light. If you see any orange color from the diamond, it is fake, as real diamonds have every color EXCEPT orange.
Diamond is harder than glass, so a diamond will 'mark' glass. Glass-cutting takes place when the worker uses a diamond-tipped tool to mark the glass along the cut line, then applies pressure to the glass on both sides of the mark. Glass-cutting tools are tipped with industrial diamonds, which are 80% of all diamonds mined.
Nothing. Only other diamonds can cut diamonds.
Diamond-tipped tools are used to cut glass, because diamond is the hardest mineral. Cutting glass plates requires a score line, long which pressure is applied to separate the pieces of glass into the desired dimensions.
Yes, diamonds can cut glass, because diamonds are harder than glass.
Yes, diamonds can cut glass. Glass can also cut glass.
No. Diamonds cut glass because diamonds are harder than glass. Quartz is not as hard as diamond.
Diamonds
No, emeralds are not hard enough to cut glass. Diamonds cut glass and they are the only gemstone with this capability.
Diamond is the hardest mineral on earth. So a diamond can cut glass, but glass cannot cut a diamond.
Any diamond can 'cut glass' in the sense that dragging the diamond stone across glass will mar the glass.
Yes.
FalseAnother AnswerTrue, in the sense that diamonds can mar glass. A glass-cutter uses a diamond-tipped tool to mark a cut line on glass, then applies pressure to either side of the cut line. This separates the glass where the cutter wants it cut.
Because the diamonds are harder than the glass and can cut a 'score' into the surface of the glass, so that with a light tap, the glass separates along the 'score'.
Real diamonds will cut glass, though there is speculation that some fake diamonds can cut glass, and that you can damage a real diamond by cutting glass with it.

As the logic goes it is difficult to cut glass with glass. Diamond saws are used for cutting rough diamonds. The lasers are also used widely to cut diamonds. The cutting of rough diamond also followed by girdling.
