5 Flat surfaces 4 flat surfaces (3 for the sides and 1 for the base).
A cube has 6 flat surfaces. Most boxes of all shapes also have six flat surfaces
There are 2 flat surfaces, both are circles.
It has 6 faces which are its flat surfaces.
calcite has a regular arrangement of atoms.
calcite has a regular arrangement of atoms.
... because calcite has a regular arrangement of atoms.
maybe, maybe not who knows not me...2. you shouldn't ask a 12 year old...3. ask a professional.
The tendency for minerals like mica to break along flat surfaces is called cleavage. Cleavage occurs because the atomic structure of these minerals allows them to easily break along specific planes, resulting in flat, shiny surfaces.
No, it is not.
Cleavage
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.
Fluorite is a mineral that exhibits four directions of cleavage. This means that when fluorite is broken, it tends to break along flat planes in four specific directions.
cleavage
Gypsum has cleavage, which means it tends to break along flat surfaces.
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.
