What is the tenacity of a mineral, and how can it be described?

Tenacity is the ability of a mineral's crystal to stay attached to other crystals. It can be described as tenacious, very tenacious, or not tenacious.

Tenacity is the mineral's resistance to breaking, bending, or otherwise deforming. A mineral's tenacity can be described as brittle, elastic, malleable, or sectile.

Tenacity is the mineral's resistance to breaking, bending, or otherwise deforming, although the deformation always reverts to the original shape of the mineral. A mineral's tenacity can be described as tenacious, very tenacious, or not tenacious.

The zone of dangerous faults in Southern California is much wider than in the San Francisco Bay area, largely because the major plate-bounding fault (the San Andreas) is bent so far to the west that it makes it difficult for the Pacific Plate to slide along on its northwestward journey.
