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

In your own words please explain the difference between genotype and phenotype?
inna [77]

Ima say this in the most easy simplest way possible. Genotype is like the physical make up of an organism.  In other terms genotype  is the actual genes, the actual alleles. Like PP Pp and pp ( dominant / recessive)

And the phenotype is the physical appearance like the stuff you can actually distinguish a person like curly hair, straight hair, brown eyes, blue eyes, black hair. blond hair. Anyways you get the point.

This is the easiest, simplest way I could put it so I hope it helps.

Meteorologists take careful measurements of daily minimum temperatures, maximum temperatures, and precipitation (rainfall). The
Vinil7 [7]

Months with higher temperature have more rainfall.

Explanation:

From the presented graph, we can see that all three parameters are following a same trend. When the maximum temperatures increase, the minimum temperatures increase too, and the rainfall increases as well. When the maximum temperatures decrease, the minimum temperatures decrease, and the rainfall decreases too.

There is a simple explanation for the connection of higher temperature and more rainfall in Scotland. Scotland is located on an island, thus it is heavily influenced by the sea. When the temperature is higher, the humidity is higher, and in accordance to that more rainfall occurs. When the temperature is lower, the humidity is lower, so there is less rainfall, or instead of rainfall the precipitation can be manifested as snowfall.
