Summary

Description
English: Schematic drawing of the two basic types of cleavage: continuous and spaced. Spaced cleavages consist of cleavage domains and microlithons. The cleavage domains are the dark lines and the the microlithons are the spaces between. Note the disjunctive cleavage has a random orientation of mineral grains and the continuous cleavage has a preferred orientation.

This geology image could be re-created using vector graphics as an SVG file. This has several advantages; see Commons:Media for cleanup for more information. If an SVG form of this image is available, please upload it and afterwards replace this template with {{vector version available|new image name}}.


It is recommended to name the SVG file “Continuous spaced cleavage.svg”—then the template Vector version available (or Vva) does not need the new image name parameter.
