Understanding Mineral Properties

History

nadezda [96]1 year ago

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.

To learn more about minerals, crystal structure, and their breakage pattern ( a fracture and cleavage), refer to-

Best answer:  C. Hitler and the Nazis were able to exploit the economic hardships and racism of Germany.

Context/details:

After the Great War (World War I), Germany was required to pay heavy reparations payments to Britain and France.  Meanwhile, Britain and France owed repayment of funds to the United States for borrowing they had done during the war.  So the United States had been supporting Germany in the 1920s with loans.  When the USA could no longer afford to extend loan monies to Germany after the stock market crash of 1929, that sent Germany's economy spiraling even deeper into the Depression than was felt in the United States.

The bad situation in Germany made it possible for a radical leader like Hitler, making all sorts of bold promises, to win over enough people to rise to power.  Hitler also used racial prejudice to blame the Jews for Germany's problems, leading to a campaign of persecution against the Jewish people in Germany. Hitler promised a return to national greatness and fiercely rebuilt Germany as a military machine.  The rise of Hitler and the Nazis brought about World War II in Europe, and the racism of their movement brought about the Holocaust.

What was the main message of The Wealth of Nations by Adam Smith?
rosijanka [135]

Answer:

The economy runs better without governmental involvement.

Explanation:

In the Wealth of Nations, Adam Smith lays out a very robust theory about how the economy works, this is why many economists consider him to be the Father of the economic science.

Adam Smith's main thesis was that people, acting own their own interest, were guided by the invisible hand, leading to positive results that benefited the whole of society, even if that was not the main goal of economic actors in first place (their main goal being furthering their own interests).

For this reason, Smith thought that most government intervention was unecessary, since according to him, economic actors tended to self regulate in the market, and to produce an optimal result for society. He did justify some government intervention though: in the military, in the judicial system, and in some basic social services in order to care for the poor, the elderly, and the sick.
