yes, though not easily. Moh's hardness scale is not very even- the difference between 5 and 6 is not that great and a sharp point of 5 can possibly scratch a rough surface of 6, the with damage to the 5. This is certainly true where a mineral is recorded as hardness 6, but has variable hardness, so the surface being scratched is actually lower than 6 - Disthene is a well-known example of a mineral with hardness that varies in different directions.
What else can I help you with?
Is the pH level 6.9 acidic or basic?
Nuetral, this number is over the acidic point of 6 and .1 off from nuetral.
Coal is in what mineral group?
Coal is classified as an organic sedimentary rock. It is primarily composed of carbon-containing compounds formed from plant material that has been preserved over millions of years through geological processes.
Does fracture make up the most common mineral group?
No, the most common mineral group is silicates, which make up over 90% of Earth's crust. Fracture is a physical property of minerals describing how they break when under stress, such as conchoidal fracture in quartz.
Is oil is mineral?
No. By definition, a mineral must be a solid and have crystals
Why do you think mineralogists call this a cycle?
Mineralogists call it a cycle because minerals constantly undergo processes like crystallization, weathering, and recrystallization that transform them into different mineral forms over time. This creates a continuous loop of mineral formation and transformation, much like a cycle.
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.
What do you find when you scratch a mineral over an unglazed tile that starts with a C?
colour?
What you find when you scratch a mineral over a tile?
Usually the mineral deposits a certain color or colors that you wouldn't see otherwise.
What you find when you scratch mineral over an unglazed tile?
The answer will depend on the mineral. Some minerals, such as talc, are extremely soft and will not mark the tile.
Describe what would happen if you rubbed a mineral with a mohs hardness value of 7 against a mineral with a value of 5?
The mineral with a Mohs hardness value of 7 (such as quartz) would scratch the mineral with a value of 5 (such as apatite). This is because a mineral can scratch any other mineral with a lower Mohs hardness value.

ive got no idea that is y i came here stupid thing
What is the difference between hardness and specific gravity?
Roughly, specific gravity compares the volume of an item and its weight to an equal volume and weight of water. Archimedes first used it as a way to determine if a king's crown was made of pure gold. If the crown was put in a bucket and the water level rose to the same level as an equal level as it did with an equal weight of pure gold, then the crown was made of pure gold. If it did not, then the king's crown was made of something else. Hardness is totally different. A hardness scale was developed based on what materials would scratch other materials. On that scale, an emerald is 8, a ruby is 9, and a diamond is 10. A ruby and a diamond will scratch an emerald. But only a diamond will scratch a ruby. The original scale had a total of 10 items. Scientists started with it but have modified it. They have gone over to a pressure based scale. South African diamonds are twice as hard as Australian diamonds. Australian diamonds are still extremely hard. Scientists have created a compound that does not exist in nature with a hardness of 11. They have also gone over to a more scientific scale which uses units of force for hardness.
What do you find when you scratch a mineral over an unglazed tite?
If you are my classmate ill be very surprised. the answer is streak the box is made wrong. PS: if you are my class mate i remind u that our teachers printer is BROKEN...
What do you do when it says all chocolate frogs lost retry in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire for PlayStation 2?
You must try to complete that level again. No chocolate frogs is the equivalent of game over. You have to start the level from scratch.
What is a idiom for start over?
start from scratch
What you find when scratch a mineral over an unglazed tile?
What you are referring to is called a streak test. It's used as an aid to mineral identification. As a mineral is drawn over the unglazed tile surface, it is reduced to a streak of dust which reveals the true color of the mineral. If no color is revealed, the streak color is called white. An amethyst crystal which appears purplish will actually have a white streak, because the streak color of the constituent quartz is white. The purplish color of amethyst is due to other reasons.
What is the highest level of tornadoes?
The highest level of tornadoes on the Enhanced Fujita scale is EF5, which indicates wind speeds of 200+ mph and causes catastrophic damage. These tornadoes can level well-built houses and even sweep away large structures.
