What type of fracture is it when a mineral splits evenly?
A mineral that splits evenly along flat surfaces is said to have a cleavage fracture. Cleavage occurs when a mineral breaks along weak atomic planes due to the internal atomic structure and bonding of the mineral.
What is it called when a mineral breaks along weakly-bonded plane?
Cleavage is the tendency of materials to split along definite structural planes, yielding smooth surfaces. An example is shales or shists.
One way to test a mineral is to break it and see how many directions of what it has?
cleavage....
What is the name of a mineral that splits along flat surfaces?
The name of a mineral that splits along flat surfaces is called mica. Mica's cleavage planes allow it to be easily split into thin sheets.
The tendency of a mineral to break along flat surfaces?
The tendency of a mineral to break along flat surfaces is called cleavage. Cleavage occurs due to the alignment of weak atomic bonds within the mineral's crystal structure, allowing it to break easily along specific planes. The quality of cleavage can be described by the number and orientation of the cleavage planes in a mineral.
What is a cleavage of a mineral?
A good example of a mineral with basal cleavage are those from the mica group such as muscovite and biotite
In what ways were temple important to economy?
What is cleavage? Give an example of a mineral with this property.
Is the cleavage for a mineral is always the same for that mineral?
Yes, all different samples of that mineral will have the same cleavage.
Is the cleavage for a mineral always the same for that mineral?
Yes, all different samples of that mineral will have the same cleavage.

What is the Difference between a rock cleavage and a mineral cleavage?
The mineral cleavage is made up of many other particles to form a rock when the rock cleavage is just a rock.
True or false a mineral may have a crystal form but no cleavage?
True. A mineral can exhibit a distinct crystal form while lacking cleavage, which is the tendency to break along specific planes of weakness. For example, quartz has a well-defined crystal structure but does not exhibit cleavage; instead, it fractures conchoidally. This distinction highlights the complexities of mineral characteristics beyond just crystal form and cleavage.

The way a mineral splits is called?
CLEAVAGE
