When an amorphous solid breaks, it typically shatters or fractures in an irregular manner rather than along defined planes, as seen in crystalline solids. This is due to the lack of a long-range ordered structure, which means that there are no predetermined paths for the fracture to follow. As a result, the breakage can create random shapes and sharp edges. The mechanical properties of amorphous solids, such as stress distribution, also contribute to their unique fracture behavior.
