Minerals are said to (blank) if they do not show cleavage when broken?
Solids that are amorphous. Of which perhaps glass is the best known example. [But glass is not a mineral] Materials such as TiO2 are amorphous solids.
If you break quartz what physical property?
When quartz is broken it has a conchoidal fracture. Fracture is the appearance of the broken plane of a mineral. A conchodal fracture is described a being curved, and looking like broken glass.
What is obsidian's cleavage?
Obsidian does not have cleavage because of the way it forms. Obsidian is essentially nature's form of glass and so it has no regular or patterned crystal structure. Without that crystal structure, there is no cleavage.
When quartz breaks it breaks along smooth curved surfaces resembling broken glass What is this property called?
conchoidal fracture
Why is The texture of obsidian is best described as glassy?
I can break like glass (fracture) and it looks like black glass and can be sharp

Compare and contrast a mineral fragment that has one cleavege direction with one that has only fracture?
One that has only one cleavage direction will only fracture in one direction/angle to the matrix of the rock. One that only has fracture would fracture in no specific direction and is probably something like obsidian, which fractures conchoidally, like glass.
What is an example of an physical hazard?
Broken Glass
When quartz breaks it breaks along smooth curved surfaces resembling broken glass What is this property called?
conchoidal fracture
Which fracture comes when glass broken due to heat?
A glass fracture due to heat will be a jagged line not a smooth and fairly strait crack. It will happen on annealed or laminated glass especially if they are tinted. It occur when a partial area of the glass is exposed to the sun and the rest is in the shadow creating a thermal stress. Didier Chevalier Owner of American Art Glass Co. in Los Angeles
Who has broken the glass change into passive voice?
By whom has the glass been broken?
Do Glass exhibits conchoidal fracture?
Yes
Example of instrument that have tinkling sound?
An example of that was a broken glass,cowbells,old woman laugh with a throaty belly laugh
How do you eat broken glass?
Broken glass should not be eaten.
Did Cinderella walk on broken glass?
No, Cinderella had glass slippers and did not walk on broken glass.
