What would be the most noticeable difference between the rock and the model?
Density would be the most noticeable difference between the rock and the model.
How do scientist tell one minerals apart?
You can tell if a mineral is a mineral by its characteristics: *color *luster *streak *hardness *cleavage/fracture *crystalline structure
What is the Fracture type of pumice?
The fracture type of the Pumice rock is either jagged or splintery. The Pumice has both fracture and cleavage type.
Why isn't cement a mineral?
No. A rock is an assemblage of at least two different minerals. One mineral can't be two or more minerals.
When somebody says a rock has perfect cleavage what does that mean?
That means when you break it it will form a smooth flat surface. Slate has near perfect cleavage so it's used to make pool tables and blackboards.
Does gneiss have cleavage?
I dont think so because a rock can not have cleavage, but a mineral can
The difference between cleavage and fracture?
Cleavage is when you can break the rock into square like pieces and Fracture is when you break a rock into uneven different shaped pieces.
Explain the difference between cleavage and fracture.?
Cleavage is when you can break the rock into square like pieces and Fracture is when you break a rock into uneven different shaped pieces.
What mineral has a cleavage that goes in 90 degree angles in three directions?
Rock salt.
What property of minerals splits the mineral into pieces with uneven surfaces?
It is a type of igneous or sedimentary rock.
What mineral property are you using if a mineral splits along a flat surface?
The term is called CLEAVAGE. It is a special form of Foliation in rock metamorphism.
What is the difference between carbonation and oxidation?
In lesser terms, oxidation is when a rock or mineral of some sort interacts with oxygen and carbonation is when a rock or mineral interacts with carbon or carbon dioxide.

What is the Definition of Rock Cleavage?
A mineral's ability to split easily along planes of weakness, producing flat surfaces.
What is the difference between magma and crystal?
Magma is molten rock, the dissolved mineral remains of solid rock. During cooling and solidification, the magma will crystallize into a mass of crystallized mineral components.
What is the difference between magma and a mineral?
Magma is molten rock. A mineral is a naturally occurring inorganic solid, with a definite chemical formula, and a crystalline structure.
