How is cleavage related to a mineral's atomic structure?
Cleavage is related to the minerals atomic structure because minerals are arranged in crystal lattices . It's the shape of these lattices that determine the mineral's cleavage.
What do cleavage and streak have in common?
They are both characteristics of minerals.
What is the difference between crystal habit and cleavage?
i think crystal habit is the minerals structure, while cleavage is the patter it breaks into.
What s the difference between a mineral that has cleavage and one that has fracture?
The difference between a mineral that has cleavage and one that has fracture is that cleavage is the tendency of some minerals to brake along flat surfaces and fracture is the tendency of some minerals to brake unevenly along curved or irregular surfaces.
Are minerals classified by color?
Someone said, "No. Most minerals have a variety of different colors." but that isn't true. Minerals and rocks can be classified by color, streak, luster, cleavage, hardness, and specific gravity. Hope this helps! By: Fizzycandy10
Does a mineral have crystal form but no cleavage?
All minerals have a crystal form, but not all have cleavage.
What type of minerals have cleavage?
all different types of minerals
All minerals exhibit cleavage T or F?
false
What are two minerals with cleavage?
Halite and Calcite. Halite has what is known as cubiccleavage, where there is cleavage in three directions at 90 degree angles. Calcite has what is known as rhombohedral cleavage, where there is cleavage in three directions but at 120 and 60 degree angles.
Do all minerals have cleavage?
Yes,Halite has cubic cleavage. This means it can break along planes in three directions.
What four characteristics do all minerals share?
property,cleavage,fracture,streak
What basic characteristics do all minerals share?
cleavage, luster, color, streak
What minerals have only one direction of cleavage?
Mica minerals have only one direction of cleavage. Examples are Muscovite and Biotite.
How is cleavage related to atomic structure?
Cleavage is related to the minerals atomic structure because minerals are arranged in crystal lattices . It's the shape of these lattices that determine the mineral's cleavage.
What is the cleavage of bauxite?
Because bauxite is a rock, a mixture of minerals, it has no cleavage of its own.
What is the tendency of minerals to break?
Cleavage
