OpenStudy (agl202):

No. Is the picture showing nice shapes or odd lumps?

likeabossssssss (likeabossssssss):

no c?

OpenStudy (agl202):

Still incorrect.

OpenStudy (agl202):

The picture shows nice shapes. So, which is nice shapes: Cleavage or fracture?

likeabossssssss (likeabossssssss):

c?

OpenStudy (rinibunny):

In the picture, it shows a split in the minerals, A cleavage is a sharp division or split. So I believe "D." is correct.

likeabossssssss (likeabossssssss):

d I mean

OpenStudy (rinibunny):

A fracture is more of cracking than a clean cut. The picture shows that the mineral was cleanly cut straight through the center, without any cracking.

OpenStudy (agl202):

Correct!
