Explanation:

Similar rock types can be used as an evidence for continental drift because rocks forms under different geologic conditions.

Most natural depression on the earth surface are filled with thick sedimentary sequences that have been subjected to lithification.

In some terrain, magmatic activities are rife with prevailing tectonic settings controlling how they cool and solidify.

Also, some terrains have experience prolong metamorphic change and this dives spurious metamorphic transformation of minerals.

A terrain will have a rock type that typifies it.
If the two terrains become separated, it is possible to correlates the rock sequences in them.
For sedimentary rocks, a geologic column and stratigraphy can be useful on correlating them.
In metamorphic rocks. different facies have typical index minerals in them that can be used to match them.
Dating some minerals in igneous rocks and even establishing sequences have proven useful in explaining continental drift between terrains

If a mineral can scratch fluorite and it can be scratched by a knife what is the hardness of the mineral

alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

The hardness rating is 4.

Explanation:

Calcite sits at a hardness rating of 3 and is very easily scratched with a knife and/copper coin. This is where most Marbles, limestones, travertines, rate.

Meanwhile, Fluorite sits at hardness 4 and can be scratched by a knife.
