Cleavage describes the tendency of a mineral to break along flat planar surfaces parallel to zones of weakness, while fracture is the way a mineral breaks other than along a cleavage plane.

What is the difference between weathering and erosion?
Weegy: The difference between weathering and erosion is that weathering occurs in place whereas erosion involves movement to a new location. User: How are mechanical weathering and chemical weathering different? Weegy: Mechanical weathering is the physical breakdown of rock into smaller pieces by the action of water or wind. [ Chemical weathering is the breakdown of rock by means such as acid rain, which reacts chemically with rock to form new compounds. ] User: How are hydrolysis and oxidation similar? Weegy: Oxidation is any chemical reaction that involves the moving of electrons. Specifically, it means the side that gives away electrons. User: How are hydrolysis and oxidation similar?

User: explain the process of exfoliation Weegy: Exfoliation is the process of removing dead skin cells from the outer layer of your skin. User: As waves crash into rock along the shoreline, particles of sand, shell, and other materials in the ocean water loosen tiny bits of sediment from the rock. As the waves recede, they carry the sediment away. In this scenario, which process represents weathering, and which process represents erosion? (More)

If a rock slides and then begins to fall rapidly, it is likely to break into numerous little pieces, resulting in a rock avalanche, in which large and small rock fragments move in a fluid manner supported by a cushion of air within and beneath the moving mass.
