mineral surface. b. Cleavage is the characteristic growth pattern or shape of a mineral. c. Cleavage is the splitting of minerals along natural planes of weakness.d. Cleavage is the colored mark that a mineral makes when scratched on a porcelain tile.e. Cleavage describes a mineral's resistance to abrasion.
<em>Cleavage is the splitting of minerals along natural planes of weakness

<u>Explanation:</u>
There are different physical features of a mineral that are used in the identification of species of fossils. The characteristics may include hardness, Fracture, tenacity, and, cleavage. The cleavage, therefore, occurs as a result of the strengthening of the weaker bonds and the greater lattice spacing that exist in the plane. The lattice accompanies the more fragile relationship along with the place because the link cannot maintain interatomic spacing.
The property of cleavage and positioning of fracture derived from structural species of the crystals.
Henry VIII and Catherine of Aragon were Roman Catholic, and the Church forbade divorce. Henry broke away from the Roman Catholic Church by naming himself the Supreme Head of the Church of England (thereby rejecting the Pope's authority), divorced Catherine, and married Anne Boleyn.
