It has two cleavage planes
Cleavage is the way crystalline materials (minerals) split along crystalline structural planes, or areas of weakness.
It may help determine the atomic or molecular structure within the crystal.
Break in certain patterns. For instance mica and slate cleave very strongly in 1 direction or in sheets.
"Cleavage," when describing a rock, means that the rock will break apart in layers. Example: http://www.geologyclass.org/Metamorphism%20Concepts_files/image008.jpg
It does not have a cleavage, which is a characteristic of metamorphosed sedimentary rock, but it often has large-scale jointing created by strains as it solidifies and cools.
Conglomerate does not exhibit cleavage--it fractures.
I dont think so because a rock can not have cleavage, but a mineral can
Because bauxite is a rock, a mixture of minerals, it has no cleavage of its own.
cleavage is when the rock gets cut in sheets, like you can peel it fracture is when it can crumble and breaks like you think a rock should
it is cleavage
The mineral cleavage is made up of many other particles to form a rock when the rock cleavage is just a rock.
Conglomerate does not exhibit cleavage--it fractures.
Cobalt has perfect cleavage in all directions.

Because bauxite is a rock, a mixture of minerals, it has no cleavage of its own.
Marble is a rock. This rock is created due to metamorphosis of limestone. If the marble rock does happen to have cleavage, the cleavage refers to fractures within the marble rock itself.

it is a45

Magnetite has fracture not cleavage. ChaCha on!
Cleavage is a property of minerals. Sandstone is a rock type. As such it doesn't have the property of cleavage.Cleavage is a metamorphic fabric. Sandstone is not a metamorphic rock and thus can not display a cleavage.
