What else can I help you with?
Is earth one solid piece or is it broken up int pieces?
It is broken up into pieces called tectonic plates
Explain why a mineral such as topaz can display both cleavage and fracture?
Cleavage is when a mineral breaks into flat pieces. Fracture is when a mineral breaks into irregular pieces. Topaz atom bonds are weaker in some parts and stronger in others. When it is equally strong then it breaks into irregular pieces and if it all weak in a flat line then it will be flat.
What types of minerals are clastic sedimentary rocks made of?
Clastic sedimentary rocks are made of broken pieces of preexisting rock that are compacted together. The mineral quartz makes up sixty percent of the clastic sedimentary rocks.
Why are teeth not a a mineral?
Teeth are not a mineral because they aren't a solid, they are small pieces of calcium. Also they need to have a crystalline structure
What is the type of weathering in which rock is physically broken into smaller pieces?
mechanical
What are mineral grains made up of?
Mineral grains are crystals or pieces of crystals that vary widely in chemical composition. There are over 4,000 different minerals that have been identified so far.
When water combines with mineral grains do the grains become smaller or larger?
When water combines with mineral grains, the grains can become smaller due to mechanical weathering processes like abrasion and attrition, where the movements of water cause the grains to break down into smaller pieces. However, in some cases, water can also facilitate processes like dissolution or precipitation that can lead to mineral grains growing larger.
The way the pieces of materials in the rock fit together define its?
texture. Texture describes the relative size, shape, and arrangement of mineral grains or crystals within a rock, which can range from fine and smooth to coarse and rough. This characteristic is helpful in identifying and classifying different types of rocks.
What is a mineral grains?
Mineral grains are small, solid particles that make up rocks. They can vary in size, shape, and composition, and are typically formed through the process of crystallization from magma or through the recrystallization of existing minerals under high temperature and pressure conditions. These grains play a key role in determining the texture and overall characteristics of rocks.
What are most grains of sand made of?
Most grains of sand are made of quartz, which is a common mineral found in Earth's crust. Sand can also contain other minerals such as feldspar, calcite, and mica, giving it a variety of colors and textures. The composition of sand can vary depending on the location and geological processes in that area.
When was Broken in Pieces created?
Broken in Pieces was created in 2002.
If a 60 kg granite boulder were broken down into sand grains and if quartz made up 35 percent of the boulders mass how many kilograms of the resulting sand would be quartz grains?
35% of 65kg. Total mass does not change regardless of how many pieces the object is broken into
A mineral that breaks into jagged pieces exhibits this property?
A mineral that breaks into jagged pieces exhibits fracture.
The broken pieces stay on the sand. What is the simple subject in this sentence?
broken pieces
Is the word coal a noun?
Yes, the word 'coal' is a noun, a word for a form of the mineral carbon that is broken into pieces suitable for use as fuel; a word for a thing.
When was Broken Down in Tiny Pieces created?
Broken Down in Tiny Pieces was created in 1976.
If you broke a mineral into many pieces what would happen?
If you break a mineral into pieces it forms into a gas when it is 5 minutes it turns into a liquid.
