Answer:

To test the hardness of a specimen take it and try to scratch it with the first rock in your hardness kit, Talc. If it is scratched then the rock you're testing is hardness 1. If not then try to scratch the Talc with your rock. If the rock scratches the Talc then it is harder than the Talc.

~+ lil more info +~

nstead, common objects are used as tools to perform the hardness test:

fingernail (hardness = 2.5)

copper penny (hardness = 3)

glass plate or steel knife (hardness = 5.5)

steel file (hardness = 6.5)

Read the paragraphs and answer the question that follows.
Artemon [7]
We can infer of the two paragraphs that Geological movements are often hazardous when they happen quickly, and that the movement of plate boundaries does not always cause disaster.

The excerpt is telling us that "the <span>earthquakes caused a lot of damage, as well as dramatic changes to the local ecosystem", which is supporting the conclusion: "geological movements are often hazardous when they happen quickly." 
But is also telling us that "</span>The slip caused several rock formations and structures to develop cracks. However there was no large-scale disaster or disruption.", which is supporting the conclusion:  the movement of plate boundaries does not always cause disaster."

The classification levels of three organisms are listed in the cart:
mel-nik [20]

The correct answer is D. House cats, lions, and tigers belong to the same class and family.

Explanation:

Taxonomy classifies animals using different levels such as kingdom, family, order, species, etc. that show the features of the organism and its relationship or similarities with others. In the chart presented, the only level that is different for the three animals is the last one, which is the species level because in this the cat is classified as Domesticus, the lion as Leo, and the tiger as Tigris. This implies the other levels including the class (Mammalia or mammal) or family (Felidae) is the name of the three animals. This makes the last answer correct and shows these three animals are closely related.
