Sandstone
as part of my science homework we have to give an example of a rock which is soft and easily scratched but I don't know what rock that is please help?
Talc (1 on the Mohs Hardness Scale) can be scratched by a fingernail.
Yes, magnetite is harder than a fingernail and cannot be easily scratched with it. Magnetite has a Mohs hardness of 6, while a fingernail typically has a hardness of around 2.5.
The deposit is most likely transported and deposited by a glacier. Glaciers are massive sheets of ice that can carry rock particles long distances and leave behind unsorted and scratched deposits as they melt and retreat. This process is known as glacial deposition.
Rocks that mostly contain minerals like mica, gypsum, and talc can be scratched by a fingernail.

The rock would likely be classified as having a hardness of around 3.5 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness. This would indicate that the rock is softer than minerals like quartz but harder than minerals like calcite. Examples of rocks with this hardness include gypsum and calcite.
soapstone
yes it can because it is not such a strong sort of rock

something maybe blocking it like...your finger,rock,cell.
No no no. Rock.
Alternative/progressive rock.
if it isn't scratched, why would it require fixing? it could be your console that isn't functioning correctly.
