What mineral breaks in curved or jagged surfaces?
Limestone, and sulfur.
What is a common mineral that breaks with rough or jagged edes?
Quartz.
When a mineral breaks with rough edges what is that called?
streak
What is it called when a mineral breaks along a uneven surfaces?
"Uneven cleavage"
Is crystal of a mineral the color of the powder produced when its dragged across hard or rough surfaces?
No, that is called the streak of a mineral.
How would you test mineral to find out what it is?
Begin by taking a look at the mineral's color, Examine the mineral and take note of its surface features,Get out the materials needed for the hardness test (see Things You'll need), The number is the hardness, followed by the characteristics of a mineral of that hardness and an example, Next find out your mineral's luster,Now for the streak test, You can also identify a mineral by the way it breaks. If it breaks along a smooth, flat surface (such as mica), it has cleavage. If your mineral breaks along rough, jagged surfaces, it has fracture. Thats all you need to do.

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.
Why does the mineral mica breaks in smooth flat surfaces?
... because calcite has a regular arrangement of atoms.
