Rock hardness is usually a factor of its ability to withstand an applied force. Hit them repeatedly with equal blows from a hammer. The first to fracture will be the weaker rock.
One would be a scratch test. The quartzite is much harder than the marble. Another test would be the use of dilute hydrochloric acid, which will cause decomposition of the calcite minerals forming the marble.
Yes and no. Rock can be pretty soft.
Pedestal rocks are usually formed in desert, when wind erosion wears away softer rock under-laying a harder rock. The harder rock is eroded at a slower rate than the softer rock.
No it does not work with all minerals. For if you did not know streak plates have a hardness of 7 (maybe a little lower or higher) on the Mohs scale. Some minerals are harder than 7 though. If they are harder they will not work with the streak test. some examples are Diamond, topaz, and corundum.
When a river flows from an area of harder rock to an area of softer rock, it typically begins to erode the softer rock more quickly, leading to the formation of features such as waterfalls or rapids. This transition can create a distinct change in the river's gradient and flow characteristics. Over time, the erosion of the softer rock can also result in the formation of valleys or gorges as the river carves its path through the landscape.

yes I think the ged test will be a lot harder
Actually yes, testing a hardness of a rock can be done at another rock to see if it is harder than another rock. You scratch another rock to measure, or you can use a thing designed like a pen with a number (moh's hardness scale) of the rock for it.
The cast of Rock Harder - 2007 includes: Daniel Lee Simmons as Rock Harder Yvonne Misiak as Mandy Korey Ramos as Cheeks Easton
What is it called when softer rock weathers away and leaves harder rocks behind
Yes and no. Rock can be pretty soft.
A diamond
A rock that is white and harder than chalk is likely to be marble. Marble is a metamorphic rock that is formed from limestone under high pressure and heat, making it harder and more durable than chalk, which is a soft sedimentary rock.
The scratch test is used to determine a rock's hardness on the Mohs scale, which ranges from 1 (softest) to 10 (hardest). By scratching a rock with a known mineral or material of a specific hardness, you can compare the scratch to known hardness values to classify the rock. This test helps in identifying the rock's mineral composition and potential uses based on its hardness.
The harder rock is diamond
This could not be further from the truth. A pharmacy technician test is no harder for a man than it is for a woman. Regardless of your sex, you will pass or fail the test depending on how well you know your stuff.
The rocks are underground so intrusive rocks are under pressure so its harder.
