foliation
This arrangement is known as foliation, commonly seen in metamorphic rocks where minerals align in layers due to pressure and temperature changes during their formation.
A mineral's ability to split along flat surfaces is called cleavage. Cleavage is a characteristic property of minerals related to their crystal structure and internal arrangement of atoms.
False. Fracture refers to how a mineral breaks when it does not break along a cleavage plane. Minerals can break along smooth flat surfaces (cleavage) or irregular surfaces (fracture) depending on their internal structure and arrangement of atoms.
Cleavages
The tendency for minerals like mica to break along flat surfaces is called cleavage. Cleavage occurs because the atomic structure of these minerals allows them to easily break along specific planes, resulting in flat, shiny surfaces.
foliation
Foliation.. of course!

foliation
Not if they are on a flat surface. - all the three are parellel to eachother.
A mineral's ability to split along flat surfaces is called cleavage. Cleavage is a characteristic property of minerals related to their crystal structure and internal arrangement of atoms.
This process is called cleavage and is a property of minerals. Minerals with cleavage break along planes of weakness into smooth, flat surfaces that reflect light. Cleavage is a result of the arrangement of atoms within the mineral, and the number and orientation of cleavage planes can vary between different minerals.
It has a regular arrangement of atoms.
farter
Cells arranged in a scale-like or flat arrangement are referred to as squamous cells. These cells are thin and flat, allowing them to cover surfaces such as the linings of blood vessels and air sacs in the lungs.
The difference between a mineral that has cleavage and one that has fracture is that cleavage is the tendency of some minerals to brake along flat surfaces and fracture is the tendency of some minerals to brake unevenly along curved or irregular surfaces.
False. Fracture refers to how a mineral breaks when it does not break along a cleavage plane. Minerals can break along smooth flat surfaces (cleavage) or irregular surfaces (fracture) depending on their internal structure and arrangement of atoms.
