A geologists working in a national park finds a mineral he is carrying a kit that contains a penny, a hand lens, a piece of tile, a geologic hammer, and a jackknife.

Describe how the geologists can use these items to determine some of the minerals characteristics.

47 answers

The hand lens can be used to identify any features such as cleavage, to a certain extent of course.

He/She could use the tile to look at the streak of the mineral.

The Hammer to open a fresh surface and examine the aformentioned features such as cleavage.

And use the knife to scratch it, and compare it to the scratch of the coin to test the hardness against copper/steel. Although a coin is not common practice in my experience.

Kids, Jishka is not made for giving direct answers, but it is to get a close meaning to what the answer is. If you copy about what @Life Saver said it won't be a benefit for your future, your teacher will find out about you copying someone elses answer and get an F.
I don't use awnsers I just read then and see what I can get out of it
Same LiLly
I read the answer, ask myself what is true about it, and only put in the MOST IMPORTANT things.
Use this method and you'll get a good grade.
Peace Out! :3

If you are using this site to find the answer on a test, you better be careful. The answers are often not even fully correct.
