What defines the hardness of rocks and minerals?

Hardness in a mineral generally refers to its position on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness, which is a scale of ten index minerals rated from softest (#1) to hardest (#10). Hardness on the Mohs scale is the ability of a given mineral to scratch any mineral below it on the scale, and conversely, the inability of a given mineral to scratch any mineral above it on the scale. Rock hardness is measured differently because a rock is usually composed of two or more minerals, giving it a variable Mohs hardness. Hardness of a rock is most often defined as the ability to resist fracture, and by this standard, it is often the method of the rock's formation and mineral content which determines its hardness. For instance, an igneous rock like granite which cooled from magma has an interlocking crystalline structure of quartz and feldspar minerals is extremely resistant to fracture compared to a sedimentary rock like shale, which is formed from loosely cemented particles of clay minerals.


Thunder is created by?

Lightning is formed by particles in the clouds, that on the top forms a Positive charge, and on the bottom a Negative charge, these particles continue to form, and when there are to many particles in the clouds, some need to go, and when they go, they come out as Static electricity, which this is called Lightning, and the more particles there are, the more will need to be given, and that means the more lightning there is.

What are two conditions that determine the mass of solute that will dissolve in a given mass of solvent?

The temperature: Increasing temperature makes the particles move faster. Heat energy is transferred by the movement of the particles. Because the solvent particles are moving faster, they bump into the solute.Stirring: Moves all the particles around do the solvent particles bump into the solute particles.
