when a mineral is broken, if it breaks with smooth shiny sides, then it shows cleavage. If it breaks with rough, uneven sides then it shows fracture.
Cleavage is caused by ___________.a)
The shape of the mineral.
b)
The color of the mineral.
c)
Atomic structure of a mineral.
d)
The way the mineral is dropped.

The internal arrangement of atoms... a cleavage is a straight edge break along the side of the rock. A fracture is a not straight break for example rounded or jagged.
The strengths of the bonds between atoms
strength between atoms
The rate at which magma cools determines the size of the mineral crystal.
It determines what that mineral can be usd for and what machinery is used to process it. Gold for instance is soft and can be molded by steel or or other harder metals.
The mineral composition of the conglomerate determines the grain shape as well the the type of weathering or erosive elements (wind, water, chemicals) that the rock is is exposed to because grain shape is heavily dependent upon whether the rock has been subjected to erosion or not.
A magma's viscosity is directly related to its degree of silica content.
It is neither.
yes, it does
yes, it does
Not really, no. It may provide some hints.
The rate at which magma cools determines the size of the mineral crystal.
Calcite, a crystallized form of limestone.
the streak of the mineral
The rate of cooling of the magma determines the type of mineral formed by the magma or lava..
The rate at which magma cools determines the size of the mineral crystal.
The presence of silicon and oxygen.
it determines the hardness of a mineral.
