What are two minerals with cleavage?
Halite and Calcite. Halite has what is known as cubiccleavage, where there is cleavage in three directions at 90 degree angles. Calcite has what is known as rhombohedral cleavage, where there is cleavage in three directions but at 120 and 60 degree angles.
Is oil shale renewable?
Oil shale is not classified as a renewable energy source because it is a fossil fuel that is formed from the remains of marine plants and animals over millions of years. While it is abundant, it is not considered renewable due to the length of time it takes for oil shale to form.
