What type of rock has little to no grain development and has a vesicular texture?
A rock with little to no grain development and a vesicular texture is typically called a vesicular rock. It is formed from a volcanic eruption, where gases trapped in the lava create bubbles or vesicles. The most common example is vesicular basalt.
What type of volcanic rock is extremely vesicular and glassy?
Pumice
What texture does a volcanic rock have?
Textures of volcanic rocks include aphantitic (mineral grains are present but microscopic) , porphyritic (some grains are visible to the naked eye), glassy (all or much of the rock lacks a crystalline structure), and vesicular (solidified gas bubbles are present).
What rock has air bubbles in it?
I may be wrong, but it might be volcanic rock.
What is the common name for obsidian rock?
Volcanic glass, or pumice (vesicular obsidian).

Is pumice metalic?
No. Pumice is a glassy vesicular volcanic rock.

An igneous rock with lots of gas bubble voids has a?
It has a vesicular texture.
What are the properties of scoria rock?
Scoria is a highly vesicular (porous), dark colored volcanic rock.

What rock has air bubbles in it?
I may be wrong, but it might be volcanic rock.
What type of rock has holes in it?
Volcanic rocks with gas bubbles are called vesicular. This, however, is a descriptive term rather than an actual rock types. Some vesicular volcanic rocks include pumice, scoria, and vesicular basalt.
What is the common name for obsidian rock?
Volcanic glass, or pumice (vesicular obsidian).
What is vesicular texture in rock?
* Vesicular rock texture is generally displayed in extrusive igneous rocks which contain many vesicles of trapped air, such as pumice or scoria. * Igneous rocks containing holes which were produced as gases escaped from the upper part of lava flow.
What is a light porous volcanic rock called?
Pumice. It floats on water due to its vesicular structure.
