Matches are lit by friction. These work as the match heads contain sulphur and oxidising agents, with the surface of it consisting of powdered silica. As the striking surface, usually on the side of the match box, is also made up of powdered silca the glass-on-glass reaction generates heat. This causes the red phosphorous in the match head to turn into white phosphorous vapour which spontaneously combusts and starts burning the wood of the match.
Surface and material affect friction by changing the amount of contact between objects and the roughness of the surfaces. Smoother surfaces with less friction will have less resistance to motion, while rougher surfaces with higher friction will have more resistance. The type of material can also impact friction, as some materials have a higher coefficient of friction and will create more resistance when in contact.
The type of friction between air and another material is called fluid friction or air resistance. It is the force that opposes the motion of an object as it moves through the air.
The wearing away of material by friction is called abrasion. It occurs when two surfaces rub against each other, causing particles to break off and wear down the material.
A friction striker is typically used to ignite a flammable material like a match or a piece of flint. The friction created when striking the device against a rough surface generates enough heat to ignite the flammable material.
The temperature for ignition refers to the minimum temperature at which a material will catch fire and sustain combustion. This temperature varies depending on the material and its chemical composition.

Pyrophoric scale is a material that can be burnt or ignited spontaneously when in contact with air, if struck or scratched.
Material that can burn is called flammable material. It refers to substances or items that are easily ignited and capable of burning quickly and intensely when exposed to a heat source.
Different materials have different coefficients of friction because the materials have different microscopic bumps and valleys which cause the friction to begin with. Coefficients of friction are constant for each material.
