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

What are Intramembranous and endochondral ossification?
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

The direct conversion of mesenchymal tissue into bone is called i<u><em>ntramembranous ossification</em></u> .The process by which a cartilage intermediate is formed and replaced by bone cells is called <em>endochondral osssification.</em>

Explanation:

Intramembranous ossification  is one of the two essential process during the fetal development  of the gnathosome skeltal system by which rudimentary bone tissue is created. It is the process of bone development from fibrous membranes. It is involved in the formation of the flat bones of the skull, mandible and the clavicle. This type of ossification also helps in healing of bone fractures.

Endochondral Osssification: Method of forming a bone through cartilage intermediate. It is also involved in the formation of long bones.
