Based on these pieces of pottery found in the Grand Canyon National Park would you describe pottery as a malleable or a brittle material?

The brittle pottery that has not been fired is called green ware. Ceramics need to be fired before they will harden into a material that is less easily broken.

Why is the lithosphere able to fracture into an earthquake?
The lithosphere is brittle. A brittle material is one that loses cohesion when it fails allowing fractures to propagate through the material. The lithosphere is brittle because it is at too low a temperature and pressure to fail or deform in a ductile manner.
What is the definition of ceramic?
The literal definition is clay and chemicals fired together to create a hard brittle heat resistant material
What is non-ductile?
Materials like gold and copper can be bent; they are malleable or ductile. Materials that are brittle and break easily are non-ductile. Conventional concrete is non-ductile (and breaks under stress of earthquakes)(or other tensile challenge). Metal (steel) mesh or synthetic fibers are added to concrete to make it more ductile.
Is pencil considered hard or brittle?

Are Faulting and earthquakes are examples of brittle behavior?
yes
Are metaloids malleable or brittle?
Malleable
Is gold brittle or malleable?
Gold is extremely malleable.
What is the difference between malleable and brittle?
brittle materials get break when subjected to stress but malleable do not.
Is cooper malleable or brittle?

Is sulfur malleable ductile or brittle?

Is iodine malleable or brittle?
Iodine is malleable when it is in crystalline form.
Is calcium malleable or brittle?
yes it is malleable it can be hammered into shape
Is aluminium fluoride brittle?
No, aluminum is not a brittle material. Aluminum is a ductile material that has low density and melting point.
Is zinc malleable or brittle?
it is brittle at room temperature yet malleable at higher temperature then once a certain high temperature has been reached zinc is brittle
