Why does calcite break into clean flat surfaces?
It has a regular arrangement of atoms.
How many different ways are there to find the area of an irregular shape?
You can name it or break it down
What is the function of a pickax?
The pointed edge of a pickax is most often used to break up rocky surfaces or other hard surfaces such as concrete or hardened dried earth. The broad or chiseled edge is used for such things as cutting through roots.
How can you find the volume of an irregular shape?
Best options: 1. Break up the volume into familiar 3-d shapes. 2. Use integration by parts.
What is the better formula to use in calculating volume in irregular object?
Break the object into parts that a block or a cylinder has. For example, if you are finding the volume of a doughnut, you will measure the surface of it and subtract the measurements of the hole.
If a mineral breaks unevenly or along curved or irregular surfaces what it is said to break with?
Fracture. When it breaks apart cleanly, that is called Cleavage.
Is the tendency to break along irregular surfaces?
Fracture.
What is the tendency to break along irregular surfaces?
Fracture.
What is the tendency of some minerals to break along curved surfaces called?
This is known as conchoidal fracture.
What can cleavage and fracture do to a mineral?
Cleavage is the tendency to break along flat surfaces, and fracture is the tendency of a mineral to break into irregular pieces.
What s the difference between a mineral that has cleavage and one that has fracture?
Minerals that have cleavage break along flat, smooth planes determined by their atomic structure, while minerals that have fracture break in uneven, irregular patterns. Cleavage is a property related to the internal atomic arrangement of a mineral, while fracture is the result of external forces causing a mineral to break.
What is the differences between fracture and cleavage?
Cleavage is the tendency of a mineral to break along flat surfaces and fracture is the tendency of a mineral to break into irregular pieces.
What the differences between cleavage and fracture?
Cleavage is the tendency of a mineral to break along flat surfaces and fracture is the tendency of a mineral to break into irregular pieces.
What is the difference between fracture and cleavage in a mineral?
Cleavage is the breaking of a mineral along flat surfaces. Fracture, on the hand is just the chipping or "fracture" of a mineral.Cleavage is the tendency to break along flat surfaces, and fracture is the tendency of a mineral to break into irregular pieces.

When flint and opals break they have a unique?
Conchoidal fracture pattern, characterized by smooth, curved surfaces with sharp edges. This distinctive pattern is a result of the way these materials break along flat planes of weakness.
What is the tendency of a mineral to break along parallel planar surfaces called?
Cleavage
