Fluorite can scratch a copper coin but cannot be scratched by a copper coin. This is because according to Mohs scale of hardness, fluorite has a hardness of four. Copper has a hardness of three. Therefore fluorite is a harder mineral than copper and will scratch copper but it will not be scratched by copper. Mohs based his scale on the fact that some minerals could scratch others. If one mineral could scratch another but could not be scratched by it, he reasoned that it must be harder.

The suns energy reaches the earth by what process
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Energy from the sun reaches Earth by way of radiation.

The sun cannot conduct heat to the Earth directly because the two bodies are not in contact with each other. Convection is also impossible, as no medium connects the two bodies to facilitate heat flow. Instead, the sun radiates much of its energy as light of various wavelengths. Some of this radiated light is in the infrared part of the spectrum and reaches Earth as heat.

Light in the visible part of the spectrum also has the effect of warming the Earth. It does this by penetrating the atmosphere and being absorbed by the land and water. Once the Earth has absorbed all of the energy it can hold, it begins to radiate energy back toward space. This terrestrial radiation is primarily in the infrared band of the spectrum, which is absorbed by aerosols in the atmosphere. These greenhouse gases trap heat and store up the surplus energy of the Earth's allotment of solar radiation. Eventually, even the atmosphere reaches thermal saturation and radiates waste energy back out into space.

I hope this helps :)

When is cytokineses complete
noname [10]

Cytokineses completes in telophase.

<u>Explanation:</u>

cytokinesis is the process by which the cell cycle takes place by dividing the cytoplasm. In a cell, mitosis is always accompanied by cytokinesis In a typical cell,  although in some cells like  Drosophila embryosand vertebrate osteoclasts mitosis takes place without the process of cytokinesis. Cytokinesis usually starts in anaphase and completes in telophase, thereby reaching completion and there is a begging of next phase called interphase.

Telophase is the last completed stage of mitosis. The name is derived from latin word telos which means end. At this phase the sister chromatids will be reaching the opposite poles.  the dissolution of the kinetochore microtubules and the continuous elongation of the polar microtubules occurs at telophase.
