Minerals are identified according to their properties. One of these properties is their breaking tendency: <em>cleavage</em><em> or </em><em>fracture</em>.<em> Cleavage: Calcite, mica, muscovita, pyroxene. Fracture: Quartz, Asbestos, Limestone.</em>

<u><em>Note</em></u><em>: Since I do not know which your 10 minerals are, I will provide examples of each type according to the breaking tendency.</em>

Many properties of minerals are used to identify them, such as <em>color, density, hardness,</em> among others. In this case, we are talking about their <u>breaking tendency.</u>

<h3 /><h3>How do minerals break?</h3><h3 />

Minerals can cleave or fracture.

A type of mineral breaks always in the same, and this is why the breaking tendency is useful to identify them.

<h3 />

<u>- Cleavage</u>

The mineral breaks in flat smooth planes.

Cleavage direction and smoothness of surfaces are significant when identifying.

<u>- Fracture</u>

The mineral break in irregular planes.

In these minerals, there is no particular breaking direction.

<h2 /><h3>Examples</h3>

<u>- Cleavage</u>

Calcite

Mica

Muscovite

Pyroxene

Halite

Feldspar

Gypsum

<u>- Fracture</u>

Quartz

Asbestos

Limestone

Beryl

Chromite

Agate

Copper

If a woman with vaginal bleeding reports syncope, the EMT should assume that she "is in shock".

<u>Option: B</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

The most common form of syncope is the Vasovagal syncope. It is triggered by a dramatic drop in blood pressure, resulting in a decline in blood flow to the brain. When one stand up, gravity causes blood to settle down below one's diaphragm, in the bottom part of their body.

It is a component of a wider class of medical conditions which may lead in TLOC involving postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), orthostatic hypotension and neurologically mediated syncope (NMS). The overlapping of such clinical symptoms causes confusion about the category of syncopes which may complicate assessment approaches and present difficulties for diagnosis and treatment, especially in young women.

aleksley [76]

The answer is ‘suspect iii has 900 bp and 260 bp sized DNA fragments’

Forensic science utilizes particular sequences of DNA that are unique to people and are cut differently by restriction enzymes. These techniques are referred to as Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (RFLP) and the Short Tandem Repeat (STR) Analysis. In this case, there is an exact match on the crime sample and that of the suspect.
