A streak plate has a hardness of 7. If a mineral has a hardness of 4, then...
copper
when lava cools extremely quickly (such as coming in contact with cold water or ice) and has no time to form crystals
lava is liquid rock that has reached the Earth's surface while magma is liquid rock that is still inside the earth
dolomite
it would leave a streak because it is softer than the streak plate
metamorphic rocks
clastic sedimentary rocks
muscovite
How does a glassy igneous rock form?
copper
when lava cools extremely quickly (such as coming in contact with cold water or ice) and has no time to form crystals

muscovite
Use the “Physical Properties of Some Common Minerals” Chart and the Mohs Hardness Scale to identify the mineral described: The mineral looks coppery-red, and can be scratched by fluorite. It has metallic luster.

What is the difference between lava and magma?

muscovite
Use the “Physical Properties of Some Common Minerals” Chart and the Mohs Hardness Scale to identify the mineral described: Green, nonmetallic mineral that leaves a colorless streak; it can be scratched by a penny, but not easily by a fingernail.
