When a mineral breaks into jagged pieces what is it called?
When a mineral breaks into jagged pieces, it is called a "fracture." This occurs when the mineral does not break along cleavage planes, resulting in rough and irregular surfaces. Fracture types include conchoidal (shell-like), fibrous, splintery, and uneven.
What property of minerals splits the mineral into pieces with uneven surfaces?
That property is called cleavage or fracture, depending on how the mineral breaks.
What is the uneven breakage of a mineral called what?
Fracture
When a mineral breaks with rough edges what is that called?
When a mineral breaks with rough edges, it is called a "fracture." This is different from cleavage, which is when a mineral breaks along smooth, flat planes. Fracture can be described as conchoidal (shell-like), uneven, or fibrous.
What do the surfaces of a mineral with a fracture look like?
A mineral with fracture has uneven side when split into half.
The tendency of a mineral to split easily along a flat surface is called?
It wil break & produce fragments of d same shape as d parent material bcos it broke on a flat surface
A mineral that has uneven surfaces when is said to have?
When minerals break, they can either have fracture of cleavage. Fracture is what you're looking for, and like you said, it's what happens when the mineral breaks and leaves uneven surfaces. A good example of a fractured mineral is quartz. Cleavage, on the other hand, occurs when minerals break along weak atomic bonding planes. Cleavage creates your flatter, more geometric surfaces. Look at mica. It creates what look like sheets of paper due to it's excellent cleavage.
What is uneven breakage of a mineral called?
Fracture
What is the uneven brakage of a mineral called?
Fracture.
A mineral that has uneven surfaces when broken is said to have?
That is referred to as fracturing.
What is a quartz sample breaks into many irregular pieces is an example of?
When a quartz sample breaks into many irregular pieces, it is an example of fracture. Fracture refers to the way a mineral breaks when it does not cleave along specific planes of weakness, resulting in jagged, uneven surfaces. This characteristic is important in identifying minerals and understanding their physical properties. In contrast, minerals that break along smooth surfaces exhibit cleavage.
What a cleavage mineral?
when a mineral is broken, if it breaks with smooth shiny sides, then it shows cleavage. If it breaks with rough, uneven sides then it shows fracture.Cleavage is caused by ___________.a)The shape of the mineral.b)The color of the mineral.c)Atomic structure of a mineral.d)The way the mineral is dropped.Undo
