Floating rocks: pumice.
Non-floating rocks: all but pumice.
Pumice can float on water because its density is so low, due to trapped bubbles of air which formed during its solidification from lava.

Pumice is a volcanic rock that floats Its density is?
With out knowing further knowledge about the rock it is unable to determine the exact density. However, since the rock floats, presumably in water, the density must be less then 1.00g/L.
Does pumice floats in water?
Porous lava rock is called pumice. If placed in water, it would float as it possesses a density that is less than water.
Is a rubber ducky more dense then water?
no beacause a rubber duck floats and if an object floats in water, is is less dense than the water if it sinks it is more dense
What rocks float?
Vessicular Rocks. Eg Scoria and Pumice.
What liquid do rocks float in?
Which rock? Any liquid that is dense enough will support a rock; the most common would likely be mercury, in which even iron floats.
The extrusive igneous rock that floats in water?
Pumice
Why pumice is the only rock that floats?
it is lighter than the weight of water
What is the name of a very porous igneous rock that is so light that it floats on water?
Pumice is basically lava froth, an extrusive rock frozen as its dissolved gases come out of solution. It looks solid but often floats on water.

What is an igneous rock that is gray and floats in water?
Pumice is a grey volcanic rock so full of gas bubbles that it is able to float on water.
What do you called an igneous rock that floats on water due to the presence of many gas bubble holes.?
Pumice is such a rock.
Liquid where rock floats and wood sinks?
The liquid is water, the rock here is pumice and the wood mentioned here is ironwood.
What is an igneous rock that floats on water due to the presence of many gas bubble holes.?
The rock comes from a volcano and is known as pumice.
How can there be a rock that floats and what are three ways that this rock can be formed?
Very porous rocks such as pumice can be very light and have the potential to float on water. Pumice is a volcanic rock.
Does pumice floats in water?
Porous lava rock is called pumice. If placed in water, it would float as it possesses a density that is less than water.
Do cattail floats on water?
Yes. It floats on water
Can float on water?
Of course. Fresh water floats on salt water, warmer water floats on cooler water, and ice floats on any water.
