What is a curved fracture pattern is called?
This has been answered before but there was no explanation given for the curve. Materials that do not have fracture planes such as glass and obsidian (a natural glass-like mineral) do not follow any particular structural arrangement when fracturing. The curve results from the distribution of stresses radiating from the fracture start point. The fracture pattern is called conchoidal.
Do Glass exhibits conchoidal fracture?
Yes
Why is obsidian so smooth?
Obsidian is a natural glass, often formed in volcanoes. It has a smooth glassy texture, and will commonly fracture with a curved fracture plane called conchoidal fracture, after the resemblance to the shape of a shell. Usually black because of the trace iron content.
What describes the uneven way that glass breaks?
Fracture.
What term describes the uneven way that glass?
Fracture.
A fracture usually occurs in children?
greenstick fracture
Is hardness broke with a pattern?
No that is fracture.
What does Halite fracture look like?
conchoidal fracture (sea shell - like pattern)
What is aluminums breakage pattern?
Aluminums breakage pattern is Fracture.
What rock is actually glass and has sharp edges?
Obsidian is a natural volcanic glass with potentially sharp fracture edges.
Fracture is a tendency for a mineral to break with an irregular?
Fracture is when minerals are broke with an irregular. The pattern is not right.
What form of fracture fixation is not usually removed after the fracture has healed?
internal fixation
