Question 1

Which of the following describes the light reflecting and transmission characteristics of a mineral?
◦ color streak
◦ virtual absorption
◦ fluorescence
◦ luster

Question 2

When a mineral fractures along a cleavage plane, what does this suggest about the crystal structure of the mineral?
◦ The crystal contains warped planes called twin planes that weaken the crystal structure and allow it fracture along a planar surface, causing cleavage.
◦ The crystal structure contains planes along which chemical bonding is much weaker than other directions.
◦ The atoms are arranged in a simple orderly arrangement with uniform bonding.
◦ The crystal grows only planar faces that become weak zones that form cleavage.

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water. It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.
