Cleavage is when you can break the rock into square like pieces and Fracture is when you break a rock into uneven different shaped pieces.
What else can I help you with?
Is shale fracture or cleavage?
the cleavage is Poor
Dose sapphire have a cleavage break or a fracture?
Sapphire has a mixture of both cleavage and fracture characteristics. It has poor cleavage in one direction and conchoidal fracture, which means it breaks with smooth, curved surfaces similar to glass.
Does quart have a cleavage or a fracture?
Quartz has a conchoidal fracture. It does not have a cleavage plane.
Does silver have cleavage or fracture?
Silver has neither cleavage nor fracture because it is malleable and ductile, meaning it can be shaped and stretched without breaking along specific planes like cleavage or irregularly like fracture.
Does chalcopyrite have cleavage?
Chalcopyrite does not have cleavage. It typically exhibits a conchoidal fracture instead of cleavage planes.
Explain the difference between cleavage and fracture.?
Cleavage is when you can break the rock into square like pieces and Fracture is when you break a rock into uneven different shaped pieces.
What is the difference between fracture and clevrage?
A fracture is a break in a material, such as a bone or rock, due to stress or force. Cleavage, on the other hand, refers to the way minerals break along flat planes determined by their crystal structure. Fracture is irregular, while cleavage is more controlled and predictable.
What mineral properties would you use to tell the difference between quartz and feldspar?
Cleavage and Fracture
What s the difference between a mineral that has cleavage and one that has fracture?
The difference between a mineral that has cleavage and one that has fracture is that cleavage is the tendency of some minerals to brake along flat surfaces and fracture is the tendency of some minerals to brake unevenly along curved or irregular surfaces.
What is the difference between mineral cleavage and mineral fracture.?
Cleavage is the breaking of a mineral along flat surfaces. Fracture, on the hand is just the chipping or "fracture" of a mineral.Cleavage is the tendency to break along flat surfaces, and fracture is the tendency of a mineral to break into irregular pieces.
21 What is the difference between cleavage and fracture?
Cleavage- splits easily along flat surfaces.Fracture- is smooth and curved or jagged with sharp edges.http://wiki.answers.com/What_is_the_difference_between_cleavage_and_a_fracture#ixzz19zTPVGaj
Does quartz have cleavage or a fracture?
Quartz does not have cleavage. However, it does have fracture. Its fracture is conchoidal.
