Think critically what does the presence of cleavage planes within a mineral tell you about the chemical bonds that hold the mineral together?
It tells you that that mineral is smooth and flat ,and so are the chemical bonds. Because if it didn't it would be a fracture which means it is jagged and not smooth. I am sure of this answer because cleavage means physical property of some minerals that cause them to break along smooth, flat surfaces.
Is the motion along the san Andreas fault jerky or smooth?
its jerky because it is a fault line...it has earthquakes......we learned about it in science 2 days ago.....but we are finished with that unit
Does a surface wave go through the body of the earth or along the surface?

Does mica breaks along smooth flat surfaces?
Yes, the micas, which are aluminum silicates, separate into very thin, smooth layers.

It breaks along its foliation, which consists of microscopically flat grains of clay
Common mineral that breaks along smooth flat surface?
cleavage, if a natural property of the mineral (e.g. mica); or a fault, such as in a gemstone.
The tendency of minerals to break along a smooth flat surface?
Cleavages
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.
