Limestone is is a chemically altered sedimentary rock, mostly consisting of calcium carbonate in various forms. The hardness of calcite, a common ingredient, is about 3 on the Mohs scale. A conglomerate often consists of mechanically altered sedimentary rock that has been ground into relatively small pieces while being transported and deposited as sediment by glaciers. Its Mohs hardness varies, depending on the composition of the rock which is mostly a mixture of silicates, calcite, and iron compounds.
Dolomite has a hardness of 3.5-4 on the Mohs scale of hardness.
Oh, dude, Conglomerate isn't actually a mineral, it's a rock made up of different minerals all squished together like a messy sandwich. So, it doesn't have a specific place on the Mohs Scale, which is all about ranking the hardness of minerals. It's like trying to compare apples to, well, a rock sandwich.
Diamond, with a hardness of 10 on the Mohs scale.
This scale was proposed by the Austrian geologist Friderich Mohs.
The numbers on the Mohs hardness scale represent the relative hardness of minerals. The scale ranges from 1 (softest) to 10 (hardest), with each number corresponding to a different mineral's ability to scratch or be scratched by another mineral.
The hardness is 3-4 on Mohs scale.
Yes, lime stone is 3 - 4 on the Mohs scale, Bassalt is 7 on the Mohs scale.
Topaz is number 8 on the Mohs scale.

Granite is not assigned a number on the Mohs scale of hardness. The Mohs scale is a measurement of the relative hardness of minerals. Because granite is a rock composed of a variety of minerals, only the individual minerals which compose it have a Mohs hardness.
Diamond, with a hardness of 10 on the Mohs scale.
Iodine is not recognized as a mineral, and therefore is not assigned a number on the Mohs Scale of mineral hardness.
Yes, 7 on the Mohs hardness scale is considered strong. It indicates that the mineral can scratch minerals with a lower number but can be scratched by minerals with a higher number. Minerals like quartz and topaz have a hardness of 7 on the Mohs scale.
This scale was proposed by the Austrian geologist Friderich Mohs.
a mineral that has a low number on the mohs scale
The numbers on the Mohs hardness scale represent the relative hardness of minerals. The scale ranges from 1 (softest) to 10 (hardest), with each number corresponding to a different mineral's ability to scratch or be scratched by another mineral.
