Cleavage is the tendency of a mineral to break along smooth planes parallel to zones of weak bonding.
Minerals that exhibit cleavage split along flat planes and do not break apart or crumble like minerals that fracture. Examples of minerals with good cleavage include mica, calcite, and halite.
No, rocks cannot reproduce as they do not have biological processes necessary for reproduction like cells, genetic material, or the ability to grow and divide. Rocks are non-living entities composed of minerals and do not possess the characteristics of living organisms.
Slate breaks along smooth flat surfaces because of its foliated structure, consisting of fine-grained minerals aligned parallel to the direction of pressure during its formation. This alignment allows slate to easily split along these planes, resulting in the characteristic smooth surfaces when fractured.
Yes, an atom can break or split. This is the concept behind the atom bomb.
Shale and Sandstone
To fix split wood, you can use wood glue to bond the split pieces back together. Apply the glue to the split area, press the pieces together, and let it dry according to the glue's instructions. Sand down any excess glue for a smooth finish.
To effectively repair split wood, you can use wood glue to bond the split pieces together. Apply the glue to the split area, press the pieces together, and clamp them until the glue dries. Sand the repaired area to smooth it out, and finish with a coat of wood finish or paint for added protection.

Cleavage is the tendency of a mineral to break along smooth planes parallel to zones of weak bonding.
That property is called cleavage or fracture, depending on how the mineral breaks.
bite it
yes its called a german split then when those pieces re king they can only be jumped by a re king.
That property is called cleavage or fracture, depending on how the mineral breaks.

The earths crust is split into large pieces called plates. When they move they cause a earthquake.
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.
