What is mineral hardness-?
Is a mineral's ability to resist being scratched, and is defined by its location on the numerical Mohs scale of mineral hardness by a designation of a number between 1 and 10. See the related link on Mohs hardness.
Ability of a material to let water pass through it is?
This ability is called porous (with many holes).
Environmental resistance is enhanced by?
the ability to compete for resources.the ability to resist disease and parasites.a specialized niche.a high reproductive rate.
How does gravity relate to a streams ability to erode and deposit material?
You
The ability of a stream to erode and transport material depends largely on what?
velocity
Moh's scale identifies minerals by their relative?
The Mohs scale of mineral hardness characterizes the scratch resistance of various minerals through the ability of a harder material to scratch a softer material. Ithardnesses
Mineral hardness scale name?
It is the Mohs scale of mineral hardness. It characterizes the scratch resistance of various minerals through the ability of a harder material to scratch a softer material. The scale assigns numbers 1-10. 10 being the hardest of minerals(e.g. diamonds), and 1 being the softest minerals(e.g. talc). Generally minerals with a H<5 are softer minerals and minerals H>5 are harder.
What do geologists use to classify a mineral's hardness?
Geologists use the Mohs scale of mineral hardness to characterize the scratch resistance of various minerals through the ability of a harder material to scratch a softer material. In this scale diamond is the hardest material and talc the softest.
What is the relation between viscosity and flow-ability of a material?
The higher the viscosity, the lower the flow-ability of a material.(Viscosity=internal resistance to flow)
What is the relation between viscosity and flow ability of a material?
The higher the viscosity, the lower the flow-ability of a material.(Viscosity=internal resistance to flow)
What is the ability of a material to oppose the movement of electrons through it?
A material that has a high resistance to the flow of electrons is an insulator.
What is mineral hardness-?

Which term identifies the cell's ability to maintain it's internal conditions?
Homeostasis identifies the cells ability to maintain its internal conditions.
Which term identifies the cells's ability to maintain its internal conditions?
Homeostasis identifies the cells ability to maintain its internal conditions.
How is the hardness of a diamond related to the way it was formed?
Diamonds are formed into crystals with a perfect octahedral crystal habit. Hardness is associated "...with the crystal growth form, which is single-stage..." "The Mohs scale of mineral hardness characterizes the scratch resistance of various minerals through the ability of a harder material to scratch a softer material." All quotes according to Wikipedia research.
What is the specific resistance that the body provides?
It is the net resistance offered by the body of unit length and unit cross section area at a given temperature to the flow of electrons. It is the constant for a material dependent on temperature. It gives the ability of the material to oppose the flow of electron when electric field is applied.
What cell identifies the cells ability to maintain its internal conditions?
Homeostasis
