Why are young mountains jagged?
Young mountains are jagged because they have experienced recent tectonic activity that causes the Earth's crust to rapidly rise and fold.

What is the tendency of a mineral to break along planes of weakness producing smooth parallel breaks known as?
Cleavage is the tendency of a minerals to break along flat surfaces. It means that the make up of the mineral is uneven, dense on one side and not dense in the other, causing the mineral to break along flat surfaces. The tendency of a mineral to break irregurlary is fracture.
