What type of volcanic rock is extremely vesicular and glassy?
Pumice
Is pumice has no grain?
Pumice is so fine grained, it actually doesn't have a grain--because it is a natural volcanic glass. The rough texture is caused by the vesicular nature of the rock--trapped pockets of gas bubbles with sharp glassy edges.
What is a light glassy rock formed from frothy lava?
Pumice.
Is pumice inorganic?
Yes. Pumice is inorganic. It is a glassy volcanic rock made mostly of silicates.
What is a light porous volcanic rock called?
Pumice. It floats on water due to its vesicular structure.
Is pumice metalic?
No. Pumice is a glassy vesicular volcanic rock.
Is pumice a metal?
No. Pumice is a glassy vesicular volcanic rock.
What type of volcanic rock is extremely vesicular and glassy?
Pumice
How is pumice classified?
Pumice is classified as a felsic, glassy, highly vesicular, extrusive igneous rock.
Is pumice has no grain?
Pumice is so fine grained, it actually doesn't have a grain--because it is a natural volcanic glass. The rough texture is caused by the vesicular nature of the rock--trapped pockets of gas bubbles with sharp glassy edges.
What is the luster of the rock pumice?
The luster of pumice is vitreous (glassy).
What is pumice feel like?
Pumice, an igneous rock, is generally white to dark gray.
What are facts about Pumice?
Pumice is a volcanic rock that forms when a volcano ejects "foamy" lava. The gas bubbles remain in place after the rock solidifies. One of Pumice's most notable characteristics is that it will float in water.
Is pumice a fossil?
Pumice is not a fossil because it is not an evidence of a previously living organism. Pumice is a vesicular extrusive igneous rock.
What is a light glassy rock formed from frothy lava?
Pumice.
Is pumice inorganic?
Yes. Pumice is inorganic. It is a glassy volcanic rock made mostly of silicates.
What is a light porous volcanic rock called?
