A crystal structure is the repetitive patterns in a mineral form. Cleavage is the ability of a mineral to break into flat surfaces. A fracture is a term used for an irregular way a mineral breaks apart.

Study of the mineral and the crystal structure.

The underlying internal architecture of a crystalline substance, or its crystal structure, is expressed in a mineral's outward morphology. The three-dimensional regular (or ordered) arrangement of chemical units (atoms, ions, and anionic groups in inorganic materials; molecules in organic substances) that make up a crystal structure is reproduced in different ways via translational and symmetry operations and are referred to as motifs.
The term "cleavage" describes the way some minerals fracture along specific structural lines of weakness. Mica is a wonderful example since it breaks along flat planes that are very closely spaced apart and produces thin "sheets."
A mineral can fracture when it splits in an irregular pattern without any smooth, plane surfaces.

After the Revolution in China the U.S. did something that upset Soviet leaders...what did they do?

Lana71 [14]

We tried to bring both the Nationalist and Communist leaders together to come to some form of Compromise. We also left a delegation in Nanking to work with the new Communist regime, instead of fleeing back to Taiwan. China and Russia would soon fight over the fundamentals of Communism. We would not help matters, as anything that hurt Russia was seen as a good thing.

2. Why do you think Trade created cultural diffusion?

stepan [7]

Answer:

Cultural diffusion is when one part of a culture moves to another. I think cultural diffusion works when cultures become trade partners. A trait can travel over great distances because of travel. I think one cultural trait that would be passed is a language.

Cultural diffusion is the spread of cultural beliefs and social activities from one group of people to another. A trait could travel great distances due to migration to another place. Traits that can be passed down are food, religion, and clothing.
