What is the tendency of a mineral to break evenly?
Cleavage
How does the mica mineral break?
Mica has perfect basal cleavage.
How are mineral fracture and mineral cleavage different?
Cleavage in minerals is the tendency of the mineral to break across a definite plane, creating a smooth surface. Two minerals with cleavage are granite and shale.
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".
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.
What can cleavage and fracture do to a mineral?
Cleavage is the tendency to break along flat surfaces, and fracture is the tendency of a mineral to break into irregular pieces.
One way to test a mineral is to break it and see how many directions of what it has?
cleavage....
What is the tendency of a mineral to break evenly?
Cleavage
The flat break of a mineral is called?
Cleavage.
What is the differences between fracture and cleavage?
Cleavage is the tendency of a mineral to break along flat surfaces and fracture is the tendency of a mineral to break into irregular pieces.
What the differences between cleavage and fracture?
Cleavage is the tendency of a mineral to break along flat surfaces and fracture is the tendency of a mineral to break into irregular pieces.
The tendency of a mineral to break along flat surfaces?
cleavage ( me is smart )
What is mineral's cleavage?
Cleavage is the tendency of a mineral to break along smooth planes parallel to zones of weak bonding.
What are two ways a mineral can break?
fracture or cleavage
Cleavage of a mineral is related to what?
Cleavage is a smooth and easy break in a mineral. Minerals are always solid because it is one of their classification requirements.
How are cleavage and fracture similar?
Cleavage is the tendency of a mineral to break along flat planar surfaces as determined by the structure of its crystal lattice. Fracture is the way a mineral breaks other than along a cleavage plane. They both describe a way a mineral can break.
What examines a mineral's ability to break into even pieces?
The answer is cleavage
