What else can I help you with?
If you are looking at a mineral that has flat sides what property are you observing?
You are looking at the minerals cleavage
If a mineral breaks into cubes when struck with a rock hammar which property of the mineral is getting measured?
When a mineral breaks into cubes upon being struck with a rock hammer, the property being measured is its cleavage. Cleavage refers to the way a mineral breaks along specific planes of weakness, producing flat surfaces. In this case, the cubic breakage indicates that the mineral has a cubic cleavage, reflecting its internal crystalline structure.
Is the cleavage for a mineral is always the same for that mineral?
Yes, all different samples of that mineral will have the same cleavage.
The way a mineral splits is called?
CLEAVAGE
What is the cleavage of the mineral calcite?
Calcite's cleavage is a perfectional, 4 directional rhombohedron shape.
A mineral that splits into smooth flat pieces demonstrates this property.?
cleavage
When a mineral breaks along a weekly-bonded plane it is called what?
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.
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.
Does ice have cleavage?
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.
What is a special mineral propertie?
Fracture, cleavage, luster, hardness, color ect. a property a mineral posesses.
If you are looking at a mineral that has flat sides what property are you observing?
You are looking at the minerals cleavage
In what ways were temple important to economy?
What is cleavage? Give an example of a mineral with this property.
What is the property that describes the way minerals split?
That property is called cleavage or fracture, depending on how the mineral breaks.
Which mineral property illustrated by peeling of muscovite mica into thin sheets?
The mineral property illustrated by the peeling of muscovite mica into thin sheets is cleavage. Cleavage is the tendency of a mineral to break along flat surfaces, producing smooth, flat fragments. In the case of muscovite mica, it has perfect cleavage in one direction, allowing it to be easily split into thin, flexible sheets.
Which property of a mineral is illustrated by the peeling of biotite into thin flat sheets?
The property illustrated by the peeling of biotite into thin flat sheets is called cleavage. Cleavage is a mineral's tendency to break along planes of weakness, resulting in smooth, flat surfaces. Biotite has perfect cleavage, which means it breaks easily into thin sheets.
Common mineral that breaks along smooth flat surface?
cleavage, if a natural property of the mineral (e.g. mica); or a fault, such as in a gemstone.
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.
