- Why are we not feeling Earth’s rotation while it is actually happening {1674.4 km/hr at the equator}?
- Our sound varies while communicating through a telephone. Why?
- Why is it more neat when we tear a sheet from the newspaper vertically and rough when torn horizontally?
- Will we be able to see stars during day time on the moon?
- Why do planets move in elliptical paths and not in circular ones?
- At what depth do Jupiter quakes occur?

Crystal Cleavage
Sly asks:
“what is crystal cleavage and what does it state about the nature of matter?”
Answer:
Cleavage, in mineralogy, is the tendency of crystalline materials to split along definite crystallographic structural planes. These planes of relative weakness are a result of the regular locations of atoms and ions in the crystal, which create smooth repeating surfaces that are visible both in the microscope and to the naked eye.Cleavage plane can be described as the tendency of crystals to split along specific structural planes.
Cleavage plane is used mainly for the identification of the minerals. It is used in the electronic industry and also helps in cutting gems.
