What caused rocks to form with flat sides?

Wear on the rock, like for example in a river there are a lot of smooth pebbles because the water flowing by smooths the surface

What shows if a mineral is a break or a fraction?

A mineral's break or fracture can be determined by examining its cleavage and fracture patterns. Cleavage refers to a mineral's tendency to break along specific planes of weakness, resulting in smooth, flat surfaces. In contrast, fracture describes how a mineral breaks in an irregular or uneven manner, producing rough or jagged edges. Observing these characteristics under light can help distinguish between cleavage and fracture.


How is sound refected from surfaces?

Sound is mechanical energy. The energy displayed by the source is transferred into the medium through which it travels. When the wave, that moving energy, comes into contact with a surface, some of the energy is transferred into the surface. But how much? The more solid and "less moving" the surface (seen on a tiny scale), the less the moving air waves, those compression and rarifaction waves, can transfer energy into the surface. And that's what it's all about. The "softer" the surface, the more those pressure waves in air can affect that surface and transfer their energy into it.

Is it true or false that fracture is the tendency of a mineral to break along a smooth flat surface?

False. Fracture refers to how a mineral breaks when it does not break along a cleavage plane. Minerals can break along smooth flat surfaces (cleavage) or irregular surfaces (fracture) depending on their internal structure and arrangement of atoms.

Which mineral had 4 directions of cleavage?

I think Calcite. Calcite is 3 on the hardness scale and sometimes you can break it into cubes. The difference between Calcite and Quartz is that Calcite is a milky white.


What part of an object follows a smooth path when the object is made to spin through the air or across a flat smooth surface?

The center of mass of the object follows a smooth path when it spins through the air or across a flat smooth surface.


Tendency to break along smooth flat surfaces?

Many minerals have "cleavage" that causes them to split on flat cleavage planes. Such minerals include micas (muscovite, biotite. phlogopite), calcite, gypsum, and feldspars. Cleavage is the result of the minerals' crystal structure that has weaker chemical bonds aligned in planes.
