What type of breakage is more common cleavage of fractrue?
Cleavage fracture is more common than the formation of a new surface in minerals due to its alignment with the crystal structure's weakest plane. It produces smooth, flat surfaces, while fracture results in irregular surfaces due to breakage along the strongest planes or due to external stress.
Does hematite have fracture or cleavage?
Hematite has a characteristic fracture, meaning it breaks irregularly with rough or jagged edges and no smooth cleavage planes.
Does galena have a cleavage or a fracture?
It has both. It's cleavage is perfect, and it's fracture is sub-conchoidal.
Does rutile have cleavage or fracture?
yes rutile has cleavage-distinct (100) yes rutile has fracture
Does azurite have cleavage or fracture?
Azurite does not have cleavage, but it exhibits a conchoidal fracture, meaning it breaks into smooth, curved surfaces similar to glass.
What is more common cleavage or fracture?
Cleavage
What do cleavage and fracture have in common?
They both show how rocks break.
Does quartz have cleavage or a fracture?
Quartz does not have cleavage. However, it does have fracture. Its fracture is conchoidal.

Does garnet have cleavage or a fracture?
it has no cleavage
Does garnet have cleavage or fracture?
it has no cleavage
Is gypsum fracture or cleavage?
cleavage
Dose magnetite have more cleavage or fracture?
Magnetite tends to exhibit more fracture than cleavage. Fracture occurs when a mineral breaks irregularly, producing rough or jagged surfaces, while cleavage is the tendency of a mineral to break along flat planes. Magnetite typically breaks along irregular surfaces due to its strong atomic bonding structure.
Is gold cleavage or fracture?
Fracture
Does hematite have fracture or cleavage?
Hematite has a characteristic fracture, meaning it breaks irregularly with rough or jagged edges and no smooth cleavage planes.
Is shale fracture or cleavage?
the cleavage is Poor
Dose sapphire have a cleavage break or a fracture?
Sapphire has a mixture of both cleavage and fracture characteristics. It has poor cleavage in one direction and conchoidal fracture, which means it breaks with smooth, curved surfaces similar to glass.
