Physical properties of rocks are used to identify the type of rocks and to discover more about them. There are various physical properties of Whiteschist like Hardness, Grain Size, Fracture, Streak, Porosity, Luster, Strength etc which defines it. The physical properties of Whiteschist rock are vital in determining its Whiteschist Texture and Whiteschist Uses.
The physical properties of Whiteschist depend on its formation. Physical properties of rocks play an important role in determining its applications in various fields. Rocks are rated on the on the Moh's Hardness Scale which rates the rocks on the scale from 1 to 10. Rocks with hardness 1-3 are soft rocks from 3-6 are medium hardness rocks and 6-10 are hard rocks. The hardness of Whiteschist is 1.5 whereas its compressive strength is 200.00 N/mm2. Streak is the color of rock when it is crushed or powdered. The streak of Whiteschist is white whereas its fracture is conchoidal. Luster of Whiteschist is the interaction of light with the surface of Whiteschist. Luster of Whiteschist is subvitreous to dull. Whiteschist cleavage is perfect. The specific gravity of Whiteschist is 2.86. Whiteschist is opaque in nature whereas its toughness is 1.
