| Definitionskos:definition | A tectonic foliation in a rock characterized by a tendency for the rock to split along a regular set of parallel or sub-parallel closely spaced surfaces. Cleavage is a more general term than schistosity because schistosity need not be present in order for a rock to display cleavage. Cleavage domains or parting surfaces are not spaced more than 5 cm apart on average (Borradaille et al., 1982) |
