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

Question 1 Life would cease to exist without energy from the sun or some other source.
malfutka [58]

Answer:

Q1) True

Q2) Metabolism

Q3) Physiological response

Explanation:

Q1) Energy cannot be created (first law of thermodynamics). Life needs an energy source to transform. Without the energy from the sun or any other sources, life would cease to exist. (True)

Q2) An organism chemical reactions consist, in general, breaking down complex molecules (catabolism) releasing energy or to form complex structures from simpler molecules (anabolism) which require energy . The total of this reactions is called metabolism.

Q3) Hibernation is physiological state of inactivity and metabolic depression in some organisms, which result as a response to low temperatures and unavailability of food.

Almost all coal used today was produced during the Carboniferous period from dead animals in the swamps.
Ann [662]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Almost all coal that is used today has its origins in the Carboniferous period. The Carboniferous period was a warm and wet one, with the majority of the land being swampy and covered with dense rainforests of ancient tree species. By the end of this period, the climate quickly changed, resulting int he collapse of the rainforests. As the trees were dying out, they were falling in the swamps, quickly being covered by the mud, so remaining largely preserved. Over time they got exposed to higher pressure and temperatures as they were getting deeper into the crust, eventually resulting in the formation of the coal.
