To heal the wound faster. If the incision is made perpendicular to the cleavage line, more fibrin will be damaged. And also to reduce scalp.
Lines of cleavage in the skin are important for surgical incisions, as making incisions parallel to the lines of cleavage can result in less scarring and improved wound healing. Surgeons often try to align incisions along these natural lines to reduce tension and minimize the risk of keloid formation.
Cobalt has a cleavage in three directions, forming a cube.
When a mineral breaks along a weakly-bonded plane, it is called cleavage. Cleavage is a property that describes how a mineral breaks along its crystal structure.
Cleavage is the tendency of materials to split along definite structural planes, yielding smooth surfaces. An example is shales or shists.
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.
The tendency of a mineral to break along flat surfaces is called cleavage. Cleavage occurs due to the alignment of weak atomic bonds within the mineral's crystal structure, allowing it to break easily along specific planes. The quality of cleavage can be described by the number and orientation of the cleavage planes in a mineral.
Perfect cleavage along face (011) Fair cleavage along face (100)
Yes, some minerals can exhibit cleavage along multiple planes. For example, mica minerals like muscovite and biotite can have perfect cleavage along one direction and good cleavage along another direction due to their layered crystal structure.

No, ice does not have cleavage. Cleavage is a property of minerals, not ice. Cleavage refers to the way a mineral breaks along planes of weakness, which is not applicable to ice.
Cleavage is the tendency of a mineral to break along smooth planes parallel to zones of weak bonding.
