How can magnetism be used to identify minerals?
Magnetism can be used to identify minerals by observing their response to a magnetic field. Some minerals are attracted to a magnet, some are repelled, and some show no response at all. By studying these behaviors, geologists can help to identify certain minerals based on their magnetic properties.
What is the name of the scale we use to identify minerals?
The scale used to identify minerals is called the Mohs scale of mineral hardness. It ranks minerals from 1 (softest) to 10 (hardest) based on their ability to scratch or be scratched by other minerals.
