No, Volcanic gas is the gaseous component released by a volcano, composed primarily of water vapor, carbon dioxide, and sulfur dioxide. Fine particles of volcanic rock produced by some eruptions are called ash, not gas.

What causes air holes in igneous rocks?
Igneous rocks form when lava or magma cools.But when cooling there are air bubbles that are trapped in the lava.Prime examples of this event are found in pumice and scoria
Why do extrusive igneous rock have air pockets and intrusive igneous rocks don't?
Most magma, or underground molten rock, contains gasses. When this rock is underground, high pressure keeps the gas dissolved in the magma. If the magma cools underground, the gasses have no chance to leave the solution, and instead become part of the chemical makeup of the rock. If the magma reaches the surface, the gas can escape and form bubbles.
What are igneous rocks that form over the surface?
Rhyolititcen rocks.
Are igneous rocks made up of igneous rocks?
Sedimentary rock can be made up partially of igneous clasts, but igneous rock is igneous rock.
What do you call rocks that have been formed from the hot molten material within the earth's crust that has cooled and hardened?
Igneous rocks are formed by the solidification of molten materials.
Do any igneous rocks have gas bubbles or gaps?
jellybeans are cool
What can be inferred about volcanic rocks with gas holes in them?
It can be at least inferred that the rocks cooled quickly enough to retain the shape of the gas bubbles, and that they are therefore extrusive igneous rocks.
What are vesicles in an igneous rock?
Vesicles are rounded spaces that appear in igneous rocks from the solidification of the magma around gas bubbles. Pumice, scoria, and vesicular basalt are igneous rocks that contain vesicles.
What are the charicteristics of igneous rocks?
Igneous rocks are nearly always composed of silicate minerals and have an interlocking crystalline structure. The size of the crystals depends on how quickly the rock has cooled. Igneous rocks that cool near or on the surface may also contain gas bubbles.
Why are there holes in igneous rock?
The holes represent the bubbles of trapped and expanding gas that was present in the solidifying lava. They were essentially frozen in place.
What kind of igneous rocks that formed a bubbles when putting a vinegar?
limestone
Why do some igneous rocks have bubbles or pores and are these rocks intrusive or extrusive?
The bubbles and pores are from trapped gasses which expanded in the molten material as it neared the surface. They're usually found in extrusive igneous rocks, those that have solidified in the air or on the surface.
Why do holes form in extrusive rocks?
the holes in extrusive igneous rocks (lava) are called vesicles. They are formed by gas escaping from the rock when molten, leaving bubbles in the melt which which may be preserved when the lava solidifies
What causes air holes in igneous rocks?
Igneous rocks form when lava or magma cools.But when cooling there are air bubbles that are trapped in the lava.Prime examples of this event are found in pumice and scoria
What is hardened lava called?
It is called igneous rock. Andasite,Basalt, and Dacite are igneous.
When molten rocks cools what rocks form?
igneous rocks
Why do extrusive igneous rocks have air pockets and intrusive igneous rocks don't?
Most magma, or underground molten rock, contains gasses. When this rock is underground, high pressure keeps the gas dissolved in the magma. If the magma cools underground, the gasses have no chance to leave the solution, and instead become part of the chemical makeup of the rock. If the magma reaches the surface, the gas can escape and form bubbles.
