What is The structure of the micas?
Micas are monoclinic.
How tall is Cynthia Micas?
Cynthia Micas is 165 cm.
What are the names of the crystals that form mica?
There are almost 40 different minerals in this group called micas, and their common characteristics are a) they are phyllosilicates, and b) they have perfect basal cleavage, and c) form monoclinic crystals. In the hand sample they are glittery and some are coloured. Have a crack at the article Micas in wikipedia.
When was Cynthia Micas born?
Cynthia Micas was born on February 2, 1990, in Berlin, Germany.
Muscovite mica group list?
The Muscovite mica group includes minerals such as muscovite, phlogopite, biotite, and lepidolite. Muscovite and phlogopite are the most common members of this group. These minerals are known for their sheet-like crystal structure and are commonly used in various industrial applications.
What is the crystalline structure of phyllite?
phyllite is a type of metasedimentary rock. The parent rock likely contained clays and/or micas, which have metamorphosed into micas and aligned due to pressure. This shiny surface is produced by the alignment of the minerals.
What is the relationship between the way in which silicon-oxygen tetrahedral bond in micas and the characteristic cleavage of micas?
The silicon-oxygen tetrahedral bonds in micas create a sheet structure with weak bonds between the sheets. This allows micas to cleave along these weak planes, resulting in their characteristic perfect basal cleavage.
What is the relationship between the way in which silicon-oxygen tetrahedra bond in micas and the characteristic cleavage of micas?
The silicon-oxygen tetrahedra in micas are arranged in sheets, allowing for weak bonds between the layers. This layered structure is what gives micas their characteristic cleavage properties, as the weak bonds between the layers allow the mineral to easily split along parallel planes.
What is the geologic mean of platy mineral?
Platy minerals are micas(muscovite and biotite) and chlorite
What group is mica in?
Mica is a group of sheet silicate minerals (e.x of micas : Biotite, muscovite)
What are most of the earths minerals?
The 'common' or rock-forming minerals, such as quartz, feldspars, micas, calcite, etc.
What minerals make up shale?
Minerals could include clays, feldspars, quartz, micas, and pyrite
