What is more common a cleavage or fracture?
they both show how rocks break
What is the difference between fracture and cleavage in a mineral?
Cleavage is the breaking of a mineral along flat surfaces. Fracture, on the hand is just the chipping or "fracture" of a mineral.Cleavage is the tendency to break along flat surfaces, and fracture is the tendency of a mineral to break into irregular pieces.
What 2 ways can minerals break?
Minerals break in the main two ways cleavage and fracture. Cleavage is breaking in flat planes but fracture is more uneven even unpredictable. The hardest mineral to break would be the diamond, which is placed at a ten on Moh's hardness scale.
How are cleavage and fracture similar?
Cleavage is the tendency of a mineral to break along flat planar surfaces as determined by the structure of its crystal lattice. Fracture is the way a mineral breaks other than along a cleavage plane. They both describe a way a mineral can break.
Does kaolinite have fracture or cleavage?
No, it has no preferred fracture or cleavage.
Dose sapphire have a cleavage break or a fracture?
it has no cleavage but it does have fracture
What can cleavage and fracture do to a mineral?
Cleavage is the tendency to break along flat surfaces, and fracture is the tendency of a mineral to break into irregular pieces.
What is the differences between fracture and cleavage?
Cleavage is the tendency of a mineral to break along flat surfaces and fracture is the tendency of a mineral to break into irregular pieces.

Explain 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.
What fracture does emerald have?
Emerald is imperfect cleavage. This means that that its cleavage is not clear to find. Some people think it is frature but if the Emerald was to break it would break in sheets which is known as cleavage.
What are two ways a mineral can break?
fracture or cleavage
Why do some minerals break by fracturing?
Minerals can have a cleavage plane, multiple cleavage planes, or no cleavage plane. A cleavage plane is an area of weakness in the crystalline structure where the mineral is prone to splitting.
What do cleavage and fracture have in common?
They both show how rocks break.
