What else can I help you with?
A mineral that has uneven surfaces when broken is said to have?
That is referred to as fracturing.
What is the property that causes some minerals to break along smooth flat surfaces?
This property is called cleavage.
What are the types of clevage and their examples?
Cleavage refers to the way minerals break along specific planes of weakness. The primary types include perfect cleavage, where minerals break smoothly along flat surfaces, such as mica; imperfect cleavage, seen in minerals like feldspar, where breaks are somewhat irregular; and conchoidal cleavage, characterized by curved, shell-like fractures, as observed in quartz. Additionally, some minerals may exhibit fibrous cleavage, where they break into thin fibers, as seen in asbestos.
Two examples of minerals that break unevenly are talc and?
calcium
Minerals may break across planes due to their atomic arrangements What is the term used for this type of break?
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.
How does water break down?
Water can chemically weather rocks by dissolving minerals, water can also physically weather rocks by fracturing them by hydraulic pressure or frost wedging.
Does water break down rocks?

What origin is fract?
"Fract" is short for "Fracture" or "Fracturing".
What is the tendency of some minerals to break in unevenly?
Hematite
How do you spell fracturing?
That is the correct spelling of "fracture" (to split or break).
What are minerals that break with an uneven rough or jagged surface?
Minerals that break with an uneven rough or jagged surface are classified as having a fracture. Some examples of minerals with this type of fracture include quartz, fluorite, and obsidian. These minerals break in a way that does not exhibit any distinct cleavage planes.
Which causes some minerals to break along smoothflat surfaces?
Fracture
What causes some minerals to break along smootH surfaces?
Cleavage
What is fracturing in gas well?
When drilling a gas well, fracturing is the process of forcing a dense liquid into the rock to break it up (fracture it) and thus release the gas and make it more readily collected.
How do minerals break other minerals?
minerals don't break other minerals yet they can scratch other minerals based on their hardness which is measured by the Mohs scale
A mineral that has uneven surfaces when broken is said to have?
That is referred to as fracturing.
Why do minerals not break down when cooked?
Minerals don't break down when cooked because they are at their most integral form. Only at extremely high temperatures will minerals break down.
