Cleavage
What else can I help you with?
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 The manner in which a mineral breaks along either curved or irregular surface?
the manner in which a mineral breaks along either curved or irregular surfaces is called a FRACTURE.
What is the tendency of a mineral to break along certain planes?
The tendency of some minerals to break along certain planes is called, "Cleavage".
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.
When a mineral dissolves in water this is called .?
When a mineral dissolves in water this is called .?
The tendency of some minerals to break unevenly along curved or irregular surfaces is called what?
The tendency of some minerals to break unevenly along curved or irregular surfaces is called cleavage. Cleavage is a property that describes how a mineral breaks when subjected to stress, and it is determined by the internal arrangement of atoms within the mineral's structure.
The tendency of a mineral to break along flat surfaces?
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.
When a mineral breaks along a weakly boned plane it is called?
A mineral that breaks along a weakly bonded plane is called "cleavage". Cleavage is the tendency of a mineral to break along smooth, flat surfaces determined by its internal atomic structure.
The tendencey of a mineral to break and produce smooth curving shell shaped surfaces is called what?
The tendency of a mineral to break and produce smooth, curving shell-shaped surfaces is called conchoidal fracture. This type of fracture results in glassy, curved surfaces similar to the inside of a seashell. It is commonly observed in minerals like obsidian and quartz.
Breaking of a mineral along irregular surfaces called?
The breaking of a mineral along irregular surfaces is called a fracture. The splitting of a mineral along smooth, flat surfaces 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
When a mineral breaks with rough surfaces?
That is called "fracture".
What is it called when a mineral breaks along weakly-bonded plane?
Cleavage is the tendency of materials to split along definite structural planes, yielding smooth surfaces. An example is shales or shists.
The tendency of minerals to break along smooth flat surfaces is called .?

What is the manner in which a mineral breaks along curved or irregular surfaces?
the manner in which a mineral breaks along either curved or irregular surfaces is called a FRACTURE.
The ablity of a mineral to break along a preferred direction is called?
Cleavage. Cleavage is the tendency of minerals to break along planes of weak bonding due to their crystal structure. This results in smooth, flat surfaces.
