it probably break apart with cleavage, because the carbon atoms in graphite from sheets that could split apart easily in layers.

Of the three main types of rock which tends to be hardest?

Least likely to break from fracture, generally speaking, would be unweathered igneous rock.


Why is faulting more likely to occur near the surface than deep within the earth?

In geology, faulting refers to the brittle failure of rock masses. This means that they lose cohesion (break into more than one piece) and that a fracture or fractures form through the material. In geology a large fracture which displays relative motion of the rockmass on either side is known as a fault. Faulting occurs where strain rates are large (this means that the material deforms or changes shape quickly) and there are relatively low temperatures and confining pressures at shallower depths within the Earth's lithosphere. These conditions allow fractures to propagate through the rock causing faulting. As the depth within the Earth increases, the confining pressure and temperature will increase (asthenosphere and mesosphere). Both of these factors act to stop the formation of fractures within the material. This means that brittle failure can not occur and instead leads to ductile deformation which is why the rocks fold rather than fracture so faults are not formed at greater depths.


Are Brittle rocks are more likely to fold then fault?

No, they're more likely to fault. Ductile rocks are more likely to fold.


Are hydrogen and neon likely to bond?

No, they are not likely to bond. Neon has a complete octet and is not reactive.

What type of fracture shatters the bone?

A fracture that shatters the bone is called a comminuted fracture. A direct impact can shatter bone into several fragments or pieces. This type of fracture is likely to occur in a road traffic accident.

What do you think would happen to the graphite in a pencil if it were in the mantle of earth?

It is so hot and so pressured in the mantle that a simple stick of graphite would most likely disintegrate in the violent mantle environment.


What is the difference between a chip fracture of the foot and a hairline fracture?

I'm pretty sure if you have a chip fracture it means that a piece of the bone has been chipped off. A hairline fracture means the bone is broken. However the break is very minor and most likely isn't broken all the way through.
