What else can I help you with?
What would be the most noticeable difference between the rock and the model?
Density would be the most noticeable difference between the rock and the model.
How do scientist tell one minerals apart?
You can tell if a mineral is a mineral by its characteristics: *color *luster *streak *hardness *cleavage/fracture *crystalline structure
What is the Fracture type of pumice?
The fracture type of the Pumice rock is either jagged or splintery. The Pumice has both fracture and cleavage type.
Why isn't cement a mineral?
No. A rock is an assemblage of at least two different minerals. One mineral can't be two or more minerals.
When somebody says a rock has perfect cleavage what does that mean?
That means when you break it it will form a smooth flat surface. Slate has near perfect cleavage so it's used to make pool tables and blackboards.
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.
Explain 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.
Which property would be most useful in identifying the unknown rock?
The property of cleavage or fracture would be most useful in identifying the unknown rock. Cleavage refers to the way a mineral breaks along flat surfaces, while fracture refers to how it breaks when no cleavage is present. These properties can help to determine the mineral composition of the rock.
What is the key difference between a rock and a mineral that one should pick out?
The key difference between a rock and a mineral is that a rock is made up of one or more minerals, while a mineral is a naturally occurring inorganic solid with a specific chemical composition and crystal structure.
What mineral has a cleavage that goes in 90 degree angles in three directions?
Rock salt.
What is the difference between a rock and a mineral?
A rock is a combination of minerals, while a mineral is a naturally occurring inorganic solid with a specific chemical composition and crystal structure.
What is the difference between a stone and a rock?
A stone is a small piece of rock, while a rock is a larger, natural mass of mineral material.
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's the difference between a stone and a rock?
A stone is a small piece of rock, while a rock is a larger, natural mass of mineral material.
What is the difference between carbonation and oxidation?
In lesser terms, oxidation is when a rock or mineral of some sort interacts with oxygen and carbonation is when a rock or mineral interacts with carbon or carbon dioxide.
What is the Definition of Rock Cleavage?
A mineral's ability to split easily along planes of weakness, producing flat surfaces.
