The result would be different. For if only 5ml instead of 10ml were measured, the salinity degree of the solution would be lower. It is possible to measure by a formula the concentration of solute and solvent contained in that amount of solution. C = M / V where C is the concentration, m is the mass of the solute and V is the volume of the solution.
The earth tectonic history is created over these plate boundaries and these plates are a result of the formation of the earth crust which is recycled every year due to the mid-oceanic ridges that spread the lava on both sides of ridges
These lava adapt to the same geomaterial properties i.e there crystals capture the magnetic properties on the earth, so along the ridges the stipe of ridges are uniformly narrow, and thus as we move away from the magnetic stripes becomes older and aged in structure hence these are younger near the ridges due to the continuous upwelling of lava.
History of plate tectonic is can be seen through the thermodynamic decay which is a process of plates motion and evolution, where the crust is destroyed in trenches and is again formed from the mantel that is considered a molten rock.
The unknown mineral has to have a smaller hardness number (meaning it’s softer). It’s hardness can be between 1-7. Some minerals it could be (and their hardness) are: quartz-7 orthoclase-6 apatite-5 fluorite-4 calcite-3 gypsum-2 talc-1
