crystal faces will
most likely occur
along which
lattice plane?

AC

Round 2 Question 2
What does Stenos Law of Interfacial

For a particular mineral, the angle
between adjacent faces will be constant
regardless of crystal shape or size.
Round 2 Question 3
What does the crystal
growth illustration to the
left indicate?
a) lattice plane a has a
higher atomic density
than o,
b) Lattice plane o has a
higher growth rate than
a, or
c) 111 faces are only
common in large, mature
crystals
Round 2 Question 4
The crystallographic axes shown below
are indicative of what crystal system?
Hexagonal
Round 2 Question 5
How are crystallographic axes
different between the orthorhombic
and tetragonal systems?

The a and b axes in the tetragonal
system are the same length, but are
different in orthorhombic crystals.
