<em>Hardness is a measure of how resistant solid matter is to various kinds of permanent shape change when a force is applied</em> <em>Macroscopic hardness is generally characterized by</em> <em>strong intermolecular bonds</em>, <em>but the behavior of solid materials under force is complex; therefore,</em> <em>there are different measurements of hardness</em>: <em>scratch hardness, indentation hardness, and rebound hardness. Hardness is dependent on ductility, elastic stiffness, plasticity, strain, strength, toughness, viscoelasticity, and viscosity. Common examples of hard matter are ceramics, concrete, certain metals, and super hard materials, which can be contrasted with soft matter.</em>

Atmosphere and geosphere is the part of the earth which is utilized in the nitrogen cycle.

In nitrogen cycle, the nitrogen which is present in the atmosphere comes down to the earth surface through rainfall. This nitrogen is absorbed by the earth and taken by roots of plants. Some amount of nitrogen is taken by many bacteria such as denitrifying bacteria which converts the soil nitrogen into atmospheric nitrogen and the nitrogen goes again to the atmosphere.
