Cleavage is the tendency to break along flat surfaces, and fracture is the tendency of a mineral to break into irregular pieces.
Cleavage
Using a rock hammer to break the mineral apart I know this because I am a earth science teacher for 15years
n
the cell is open from the conifer and causes it to break up
The property of cleavage.
The internal arrangement of its atoms
a fracture.
The physical property of a mineral that causes it to break with rough or jagged edges
The internal arrangement of atoms.
This property is called cleavage.
use a raw camera to carefully break pieces off the mineral is this the type of chemical that makes up the mineral or the strength of the connection between particle in the mineral
The property is referred to as cleavage or fracture, the tendency, or lack of tendency, of a mineral to break along planes of weakness. Some minerals have multiple planes of cleavage. Some have none, and are said to exhibit fracture.Cleavage is the tendency of a mineral to break along flat surfaces. The way in which a mineral breaks depends on how its atoms are bonded, or joined together. In a mineral that displays cleavage, the bonds of the crystal structure are weaker in the directions in which the mineral breaks.fracture is the tendency of a mineral to break into irregular pieces. Some minerals such as quartz break into pieces with curved surfaces. Other minerals may break differently-perhaps into splinters or into rough or jagged pieces. In a mineral that displays fracture, the bonds that join the atoms are fairly equal in strength in all directions. The mineral does not break along flat surfaces because there are no particular directions ofweakness in its crystal structure.
The special property that magnetite displays is that it is attracted by a magnet. Cleavage is the mineral property that explains why some minerals break along smooth, flat surfaces.
Crystal form refers to the geometric shape the mineral acquires upon solidification. Cleavage is a mineral property that describes the tendency of a crystal to break along planes of weakness.
