observe the side of matchbox.it is rough...and when there is roughness the friction is also present.the more the roughness the more the friction ........ when a matchstick is striked on the side of the matchbox. the friction present produces a little amount of heat ... and this leads to the ignition temperature.... and hence ; the matchstick burns....
hope that helps!!!!!!1

when a matchstick is rubbed against a rough surface frictional force is created due to which mit gets lit

Matchsticks mainly contain red phosphurous on the top . And as phosphurous has very low ignition temperature about 35 degree C , it is used to glow matchstick by rubbing the phosphurous through rough surface . This leads to friction and the matchstick glows.
