What arrangement of atoms in a repeating pattern in a mineral causes the formation of?
The arrangement of atoms in a mineral sample can cause the formation of crystals.
What is the characteristic of bacteria?
The characteristic of bacteria would be that they are unicellular!
What is metamorphic rock banding?
Hebbie jebbie's in i think new york
What causes hard water in artesian wells?
Mineral deposits.
What kind of weathering causes mineral composition of rock to change?
Chemical weathering
Why does cleavage occur?
Cleavage means to Split.Cleavage is most often used with the following 3 meanings:MITOSIS: a phase during Mitosis when cells split and multiplyGEOLOGY: The splitting of a complex crystal/mineral formation into a simpler oneINFORMAL USE: The viewable split between a woman's breasts
What property causes the mineral galena to break into tiny cubes?
The property of cleavage.
Suppose you find a mineral crystal that is as tall as you arewhat kinds of environmental factors would cause such a crystalto form?
The presence of hot fluids causes the mineral crystals to become extremely large.
Tendency to break along smooth flat surfaces?
Many minerals have "cleavage" that causes them to split on flat cleavage planes. Such minerals include micas (muscovite, biotite. phlogopite), calcite, gypsum, and feldspars. Cleavage is the result of the minerals' crystal structure that has weaker chemical bonds aligned in planes.

What causes minerals to break along smooth flat surfaces?
Cleavage
What causes some minerals to break along smootH surfaces?
Cleavage
Shifting the layers of an ionic crystal causes the crystal to?
Shatter
What is the characteristic of bacteria?
The characteristic of bacteria would be that they are unicellular!
Does fast cooling causes small grains?
Yes. Fast cooling of magma causes small crystal size or no crystal at all.
What is radial cleavage?
Radial Cleavage is a type of Holoblastic Cleavage. You can get Isolecithal, Radial Cleavage which gives you equal yolk distribution between blastomeres. And you can get Mesolecithal, Radial Cleavage which gives moderate yolk distribution but it tends to have some asymmetrical distribution of the yolk which causes some blastomeres to be slightly smaller. (At least this is what it seems to be to me...) Previous Answer: i think it means giant boobs. don't really know sorry
What is the property that causes some minerals to break along smooth flat surfaces?
This property is called cleavage.
