No. Usually it's the other way around, the density controls in what way the mineral breaks and erodes.

What is the angle of repose and what determines the angles shape size density and moisture?

The angle of repose is the maximum angle at which a granular material can be piled without slumping. The shape, size, density, and moisture content of the material all influence the angle of repose. Factors such as interparticle friction, cohesion, and particle shape affect the angle at which the material will naturally settle.


Under the same conditions of temperature and pressure three different samples of the same uniform substance will have the same?

Density reason is that the density of a uniform material is constant Density is independent of the size and shape of the sample.


How is the size of the mineral grains affect by the rate at which molten rock material rock?

The slower the rate of cooling the larger the size of the crystals that can develop.


What four factors determine the location size shape and direction of gyre?

The four factors that determine the location, size, shape, and direction of gyres are Earth's rotation, wind patterns, coastline shape, and water density. These factors contribute to the formation and circulation of gyres in the ocean.


How does the density of a material affect its size of repose?

The density of a material can influence its size of repose by affecting how closely packed the particles are. Higher density materials tend to have smaller size of repose because their particles can fit more tightly together, leading to a steeper angle of repose. Conversely, lower density materials have a larger size of repose due to their looser particle arrangement, resulting in a shallower angle of repose.

What effect does size or shape have on the density of an object?

Size does not affect density, as density is a property that only depends on the mass and volume of an object. However, shape can impact density if the shape affects the volume of the object. A more compact shape will have a higher density compared to a more spread-out shape with the same mass.


Is it true that the larger the sample of a mineral the greater its density?

No, the density of a mineral remains constant regardless of the size of the sample. Density is an intrinsic property of the mineral and is determined by its composition and structure. It is typically expressed in units of mass/volume, so a larger sample will have a proportionally greater mass and volume, resulting in the same density.


What effect does the amount of the sample of a substance affect its density?

it has no effect. density of a substance is the same no matter the size or shape of the sample.


Why doesn't changing an object's shape or size affect it's density?

Density is determined by the mass of an object and its volume. Changing the shape or size of an object alters its volume but not necessarily its mass, so the density remains constant. The distribution of mass within the object may change, but overall density remains the same.


Does the density of a mineral depend on the size on the mineral.?

No, it doesn't.


What happens to the density of a material when you change the size of that material?

Changing the size of a material does not affect its density. Density is a characteristic property of a material that remains the same regardless of its size or shape. Density is calculated by dividing the mass of a material by its volume.


Does the size or shape of minerals affect its density?

No. As I'm sure you've seen density tables for certain minerals in geology textbooks, size and shape do not affect density. If you have a pure form of a certain mineral, it's density will be constant, (ex: Pyrite cube vs pyrite massive will have the same density). If you had a large massive of galena and a small cube of galena, they will still have the same density. Pour space, cracks in the rock or mineral you're measuring might absorb some water during testing, so be sure to measure the weight in air first and then carefully measure water volume before you measure weight in water for the most accurate results.


How do the characteristics of color size shape temperature and pressure affect the density of a material?

The characteristics of color, size, shape, temperature, and pressure can influence the density of a material. For example, temperature affects density as substances typically expand when heated, decreasing their density, while cooling generally increases density. Pressure can also increase density, particularly in gases, as compressing a material decreases its volume without changing its mass. However, color, size, and shape do not directly affect density but can indicate material properties or influence how density is measured in specific contexts.

The size and shape of a mineral is known as what?

Size and shape are descriptors of the physical attributes. Others would include colour, lustre, and opacity.


Does density depens on size or shape?

Density depends on both the size and shape of an object. The density is defined as mass per unit volume, so changing the size or shape of an object can alter its density. However, the material composition remains the most significant factor influencing density.
