What else can I help you with?
Could igneous granite float?
No, but pumice can.
Does pumice rock turn into granite after its process?
no pumice rock does not turn into granite.
Is sandstone a scoria granite or pumice?
None of those. Scoria, Pumice and Granite are igneous rocks. Sandstone is sedimentary.
How could you easily distinguish a black and white gnesis from a similar colored granite?
Gneiss has a definite foliation of fabric, granite does not.
Name 4 kinds of igneous rocks?
Examples of igneous rocks are pumice, obsidian, basalt, and rhyolite.
Which igneous rock cools the slowest pumice and Granite?
Granite cools slower than pumice. Granite forms deep underground, allowing it to cool slowly and develop large mineral grains, whereas pumice cools quickly on the Earth's surface due to its volcanic origins, resulting in a fine-grained texture.
What is example of igneous rock?
Basalt and pumice.
Which is fomed by fast cooling lava--pumice granite or basalt?
Pumice is the result of extremely fast cooling lava.
What does granite obsidian and pumice share?
They are all Igneous rocks.
What type of rocks are pumice obsidian and granite?
Igneous rocks
If you were shown one photograph of pumice and one of granite how could you distinguish between the two rocks?
Pumice is a volcanic rock that is light and porous, often featuring a rough texture with numerous air pockets, making it buoyant and able to float on water. In contrast, granite is an igneous rock that is dense and typically has a coarse-grained texture with visible mineral crystals, often appearing speckled due to its composition of quartz, feldspar, and mica. These differences in texture, weight, and appearance would allow for easy distinction between the two rocks.
Which of Slate Granite Shale or Pumice is classified as a sedimentary rock?
Slate, granite, and shale are classified as metamorphic or igneous rocks, while pumice is classified as an igneous rock. Sedimentary rocks are formed through the deposition and solidification of sediment.
