Why does calcite break into clean flat surfaces?
It has a regular arrangement of atoms.
How many different ways are there to find the area of an irregular shape?
You can name it or break it down
What is the function of a pickax?
The pointed edge of a pickax is most often used to break up rocky surfaces or other hard surfaces such as concrete or hardened dried earth. The broad or chiseled edge is used for such things as cutting through roots.
How can you find the volume of an irregular shape?
Best options: 1. Break up the volume into familiar 3-d shapes. 2. Use integration by parts.
What is the better formula to use in calculating volume in irregular object?
Break the object into parts that a block or a cylinder has. For example, if you are finding the volume of a doughnut, you will measure the surface of it and subtract the measurements of the hole.
If a mineral breaks unevenly or along curved or irregular surfaces what it is said to break with?
Fracture. When it breaks apart cleanly, that is called Cleavage.
Is the tendency to break along irregular surfaces?
Fracture.
What is the tendency to break along irregular surfaces?
Fracture.
What is the tendency of some minerals to break along curved surfaces called?
This is known as conchoidal fracture.
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.
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.
What is the difference between fracture and cleavage in a mineral?
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.
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.
What is the tendency of a mineral to break along parallel planar surfaces called?
Cleavage
What property describes how a mineral breaks?
The property is referred to as cleavage or fracture, the tendency, or lack of tendency, of a mineral to break along planes of weakness. Some minerals have multiple planes of cleavage. Some have none, and are said to exhibit fracture.Cleavage is the tendency of a mineral to break along flat surfaces. The way in which a mineral breaks depends on how its atoms are bonded, or joined together. In a mineral that displays cleavage, the bonds of the crystal structure are weaker in the directions in which the mineral breaks.fracture is the tendency of a mineral to break into irregular pieces. Some minerals such as quartz break into pieces with curved surfaces. Other minerals may break differently-perhaps into splinters or into rough or jagged pieces. In a mineral that displays fracture, the bonds that join the atoms are fairly equal in strength in all directions. The mineral does not break along flat surfaces because there are no particular directions ofweakness in its crystal structure.
What type of fracture does class and quartz have?
The mineral quartz show the property of fracture. it breaks along a curved surface. this kind of fracture is called conchoidal fracture. In math the quartz is x3.
