If a mineral breaks unevenly or along curved or irregular surfaces what it is said to break with?
Fracture. When it breaks apart cleanly, that is called Cleavage.
What is the tendency of a mineral to break along parallel planar surfaces called?
Cleavage
What property describes how a mineral breaks?
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.
The tendency of a mineral to split easily along a flat surface is called?
It wil break & produce fragments of d same shape as d parent material bcos it broke on a flat surface
What is A sedimentary rock that is made out of small pieces of existing rocks or minerals said to be?
It is said to be a clastic sedimentary rock.

What are small irregular pieces cut with a chef's knife?
Making (cutting) those small irregular pieces might be called dicing, and the bits are said to be diced.

What is the irregular verb for said?
Say is the irregular verb.
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.
A mineral that has uneven surfaces when broken is said to have?
That is referred to as fracturing.
What breaks as soon as its said?
Silence
How do you spell said in spanish?
"Said" comes from the verb "decir", which is irregular. He/she/you/a person's name said= dijo I said=dije They said=dijeron
When one section of a mineral is the same as another section of the same mineral it is said to be a what?
Homogeneous
What determines whether a mineral will show cleavage or break irregular fractures?
It means that the chemical bonds of the mineral aren't too strong along the lines and that when you break the mineral it'll break along those lines. please go to www.freewebs.com/mccniu (minerals aren't on it)
