What else can I help you with?
A mineral that splits into smooth flat pieces demonstrates this property.?
cleavage
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 property of minerals splits the mineral into pieces with uneven surfaces?
That property is called cleavage or fracture, depending on how the mineral breaks.
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.
A mineral that splits along a flat surface in 3 directions is?
Calcite exhibits cleavage in three directions.
A mineral that splits into smooth flat pieces demonstrates this property.?
cleavage
The difference between cleavage and fracture?
Cleavage is when you can break the rock into square like pieces and Fracture is when you break a rock into uneven different shaped pieces.
The way a mineral splits is called?
CLEAVAGE

What property of minerals splits the mineral into pieces with uneven surfaces?
That property is called cleavage or fracture, depending on how the mineral breaks.
What mineral property are you using if a mineral splits along a flat surface?
The term is called CLEAVAGE. It is a special form of Foliation in rock metamorphism.
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.
What is the way a mineral breaks or splits apart?
The rocks cracks on everything
Can you break down atoms break them into little pieces?
Yes you can but only scientists know how to make it. It's called an atom bomb. It splits atoms.
What mineral has a hardness of 2.5-3?
Calcite is a mineral that is white or colorless and has a hardness of 2.5 and splits with cubic cleavage.
A mineral that splits along a flat surface in 3 directions is?
Calcite exhibits cleavage in three directions.
What are 3 differences between cleavage and fracture?
Cleavage is the tendency of a mineral to break along planes of weak atomic bonding, resulting in smooth, flat surfaces, while fracture is the tendency of a mineral to break with rough, irregular surfaces. Cleavage results in smooth, reflective surfaces that reflect light, whereas fracture surfaces are dull and do not reflect light. Cleavage is a property that is characteristic of certain minerals and can be used for mineral identification, while fracture can vary depending on the specific conditions of the break and is less consistent across different minerals.
