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.
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 mineral breaks in curved or jagged surfaces?
Limestone, and sulfur.
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.

How are fracture and cleavage and cleavage different?
Cleavage- in geolohy, the tendency of a mineral to splitalong specific planes of weakness to format smooth flatSurface.Fracture- the manner in which a mineral breaks alongeither curved or irregular

The tendency of the mineral to break along the curved surface is called?
This is known as conchoidal fracture.
What is a irregular figures?
an irregular figure is when it is open or have curved lines.
What type of fracture does class and quartz have?
The mineral quartz show the property of fracture. it breaks along a curved surface. this kind of fracture is called conchoidal fracture. In math the quartz is x3.
Is prism has curved surface?
No prism can have a curved surface.
