What is it called when minerals do not show clevage?
When minerals do not display cleavage, they are said to have a fracture. Fracture describes the way a mineral breaks when it does not have cleavage planes. This can result in irregular or random patterns of breakage.
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.
When mineral grains are flattened into layers?
This may be due to the overburden load, which is essentially the weight of all the material above the layer of minerals in question squashing them flat. Or it may be due to deformation caused by the movements of tectonic plates which often causes a form of deformation known as shearing where two things slide past each other. When this occurs in ductile rock masses, it acts to flatten and rotate mineral grains so that their long axis is parallel to the shear plane.
What is the parallel alignment of platy grains in a rock called?
The parallel alignment of platy grains in a rock is called foliation. Foliation is commonly seen in metamorphic rocks where minerals align in a preferred orientation due to pressure and temperature changes during deformation.
How a mineral breaks apart when a tool such as a hammer is used to break it a mineral that exhibits this will break into smooth pieces?
A mineral that breaks into smooth pieces when a tool such as a hammer is used is said to have cleavage. Cleavage is the way a mineral breaks along planes of weakness in its crystal structure, resulting in smooth, flat surfaces. The number and orientation of these cleavage planes are specific to each mineral and can help in identifying the mineral.
When material breaks suddenly with no sign of deformation what is it said to be?
Brittle
If a meterial can be parmanently deformed without breaking it is said to be?
If a material can be permanently deformed without breaking, it is said to be ductile. Ductility refers to a material's ability to undergo significant plastic deformation before rupture, allowing it to stretch or shape into wires or other forms. Common examples of ductile materials include metals like copper and aluminum.
A material is said to be ductile if?
A material is considered ductile if it can be stretched or deformed without breaking. Ductility is the ability of a material to exhibit plastic deformation under tensile stress before fracture occurs. Materials like metals, such as gold and copper, are known for their ductile properties.
What breaks as soon as its said?
Silence
When a city suddenly grows larger it is said to do what?
boom
What if your boyfriend suddenly breaks up with you because you both are from different countries and he said he is forced to do and then doesn't talk to you after that but you don't want the break?
There is nothing you can do. It takes two people to have a relationship and if one doesn't want one or can't there is no relationship.

Why it is said that we should not drink water suddenly after running?
you could get a tummy ache.
Who said that atoms are made or a single material?

When are two forces said to be equivalent?
Two forces are said to be equivalent when they produce the same effect on an object, such as acceleration or deformation. This means that the forces have the same magnitude, direction, and line of action.
