Answer: fracture

Explanation:

Minerals are formed by crystallization from magmatic liquids or thermal solutions, by solid-state recrystallization and further, as the product of chemical reactions between solids and liquids. Fracture: When minerals do not break flat but according to an uneven surface. The types of fracture can be classified into:

• Conchoidal: when the mineral breaks, leaving curved marks similar to the growth lines of shells. Ex: quartz.

• Irregular: When the mineral breaks randomly, forming rough and uneven surfaces. Ex: tourmaline.

• Fibrous: when the mineral breaks down in the form of fibers. Ex: chrysotile.

• Serrated: when the mineral breaks up according to a jagged surface with sharp edges. Ex: gold.

Where do echinoderms live?
rosijanka [135]
The phylum Echinodermata , which contains about 6000 species, gets its name from the Greek, literally meaning "spiny skin." Many echinoderms actually do have "spiny" skin, but others do not. This phylum exists exclusively in the sea, and cannot be found on land or in fresh water.

All of the following statements concerning autoclaving are true EXCEPT: a. Larger volumes require longer autoclaving times. b. A
krok68 [10]

c. All materials that need to be sterilized can be autoclaved.

As a widespread rule of thumb, you can not autoclave materials that can be infected with solvents, radioactive materials, risky or corrosive chemicals, or items that contain mutagens, carcinogens, or teratogens.

The catheter is a soft instrument, manufactured from polymers instead of any steel substance. The high warmness and water pressure of the autoclave can cause the polymer to melt or get broken.

Chlorides, sulfates, chlorine, hypochlorites, bleach, and acids aggressively attack chrome steel and might reason great damage to the autoclave chamber and plumbing. Hypochlorites, acids and bleaches are so caustic that they ought to never be sterilized or used to easy an autoclave.
