That is referred to as fracturing.
A mineral that can be bent without breaking and will stay bent is said to be malleable. This is one of the main properties of metals.
When minerals break along certain planes, it is known as cleavage. Typically, the pieces will be the same form and be bounded by smooth, flat surfaces. Cleavage is determined by the number of cleavage directions and the angle(s) between them.If the mineral breaks in an irregular, jagged or splintered edge, it is said to have a fracture.
PVC or polyvinylchloride is a material used to make raincoats, according to my science teacher. i was learning it today and she said something to do with polymers n bonding you do polymerisation and it requires a high pressure and a catalyst - i used broken pottery.
It is said to be in a soft shape or in compression.
Plate tectonics is a theory that the Earth's crust is divided into many plates that glide over the mantle.He forgot to step on home plate so the umpire said he was out.That necklace is made of gold plate not solid gold.
When minerals break, they can either have fracture of cleavage. Fracture is what you're looking for, and like you said, it's what happens when the mineral breaks and leaves uneven surfaces. A good example of a fractured mineral is quartz. Cleavage, on the other hand, occurs when minerals break along weak atomic bonding planes. Cleavage creates your flatter, more geometric surfaces. Look at mica. It creates what look like sheets of paper due to it's excellent cleavage.
If a mineral doesn't have cleavage, it is said to have fracture. Fracture refers to the way a mineral breaks along irregular, non-flat surfaces. This can include minerals breaking into uneven, jagged pieces or splintering in a more random pattern.
It wil break & produce fragments of d same shape as d parent material bcos it broke on a flat surface
Fracture. When it breaks apart cleanly, that is called Cleavage.
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.
The property is referred to as cleavage or fracture, the tendency, or lack of tendency, of a mineral to break along planes of weakness. Some minerals have multiple planes of cleavage. Some have none, and are said to exhibit fracture.Cleavage is the tendency of a mineral to break along flat surfaces. The way in which a mineral breaks depends on how its atoms are bonded, or joined together. In a mineral that displays cleavage, the bonds of the crystal structure are weaker in the directions in which the mineral breaks.fracture is the tendency of a mineral to break into irregular pieces. Some minerals such as quartz break into pieces with curved surfaces. Other minerals may break differently-perhaps into splinters or into rough or jagged pieces. In a mineral that displays fracture, the bonds that join the atoms are fairly equal in strength in all directions. The mineral does not break along flat surfaces because there are no particular directions ofweakness in its crystal structure.
Cleavage
Glass is said to exhibit conchoidal fracturing, which means it breaks in a way that forms smooth, curved surfaces similar to the interior of a seashell. This type of fracturing is characteristic of brittle materials like glass.
Uneven does not necessarily mean odd. It can also mean unequal. So, buckets with 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 pigs can be said to have an uneven number in each.
Homogeneous

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.
