Pumice is a type of rock that is made up from sand particles.The stones on beaches eroded against each other to produce sand , some sand is dragged out to the middle of the ocean and deposited on the sea bed , animals like fish die and lay here to.
Over hundreds of years more sand has been deposited on top and the weight increase on the layer we spoke about then with the high pressure they form the pumice stone and other stones such as limestone.
Yes. Pumice consists largely of volcanic glass.
Pumice is a lava rock, as the term "lava rock" is more a category than a specific rock type
They are both the same thing, which is melted rock, which means they solidify to form rock. The only difference between magma and lava is that magma is underground, and lava is not.
Molten rock that has been erupted onto Earth's surface is known as lava. Molten rock within the Earth is known as magma.
Lava and magma are the same because they're both molten rock Magma is molten rock inside the earth and lava is molten rock on the earth's surface
Both pillow lava and pahoehoe lava have about the same composition and harden into a kind of rock called basalt.
When pumice is formed - it traps minute amounts of gas in bubbles within the rock itself. This makes it buoyant.
Neither. The town of Pompeii was buried by pumice which over the years hardened. Lava and magma are virtually the same thing. Magma is the molten material in the earth. Igneous rock is formed from it when it cools. Lava is a liquid rock which also can solidify into lava stone. Unless you're a vulcanologist, and have to be scientifically picky, consider lava as an "outside" liquid rock and magma as an "inside" liquid rock.Neither.

Not exactly. Molten rock is called either magma or lava depending on whether it is underground or above ground. When lava flows on the surface like a river or flood it is called a lava flows, but lava is not always flowing downhill. Sometimes it can collect in a pool called a lava lake, or be flung into the air in a lava fountain.
Lava is simply magma that has reached the surface.
Both pillow lava and pahoehoe lava have about the same composition and harden into a kind of rock called basalt.
When pumice is formed - it traps minute amounts of gas in bubbles within the rock itself. This makes it buoyant.
yes
Other than that they are both types of rock, very little. They have very different methods of formation and mineral composition. Basalt is produced from mafic lava flows, and shale is a product of sedimentary rock processes.
All lava is the same- molten(liquid) rock
No lava is not liquid fire. Lava rock that has been heated to the point of melting. In other words, lava is to rock as water is to ice. Fire is a chemical reaction between some flammable substance and oxygen.
