No.

From its Wikipedia entry about bedrock:

"In stratigraphy, bedrock is consolidated rock underlying the surface of a terrestrial planet, usually the Earth."

Diamond rates as 10 on the Mohs Scale of Hardness -- the highest rating. It is harder than any other mineral, which would compose bedrock.

On mohs' hardness scale what mineral is harder than quartz but harder than appetite?

If you mean isn't harder than quartz but harder than apatite ( you spelled it wrong), that would be Orthoclase Feldspar. Else the minerals that are harder than both apatite and quartz are topaz, corundum, and diamond (diamond being the hardest, well the hardest non synthetic mineral).


What is harder than rock?

diamond is harder than rock and so are many minerals like silver and nickel rock is actually known as a silicate minerals silica and oxygen quartz is one of the hardest on of the silicate minerals and the most stable


Which is harder diamons or quarts?

Diamond is harder than quartz. Diamond scores a 10 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness, while quartz typically ranges from a 7 to 7.5. This means diamond is more scratch-resistant and durable compared to quartz.


What landscape feature is most likely to be formed from a bedrock layer that is resistant to erosion?

A ridge or a cliff would be most likely to form from a bedrock layer that is resistant to erosion. These features are created when surrounding softer rock is worn away, leaving the harder bedrock exposed.


How does the type of bedrock over which a stream flows affect the time it takes for the stream to rach it's base level?

The type of bedrock can significantly affect the rate at which a stream erodes downwards towards its base level. Soft, easily erodible bedrock like clay or sandstone will result in quicker erosion and a faster rate of reaching base level than harder bedrock like granite or basalt, which will erode more slowly. Additionally, the presence of fault lines or fractures in the bedrock can also influence the speed at which a stream reaches its base level.

Diamond Blocks can be broken with a stone Axe and the Diamond Ore Block can be Brocken with a Iron Axe. Bedrock is literally indestructible (unbreakable, not breakable, can’t break it) Bedrock can only be Brocken in Creative mode


Is diamond or bedrock harder?

A diamond is technically "harder", but diamonds are brittle; they can be crushed or broken, but it's very difficult to CUT one. The diamond "cutting" process is a combination of fracturing and grinding, not actually "cutting" the diamond. Bedrock is easy to cut, with steel tools.
