What else can I help you with?
Is granite the lightest rock?
no scoria is the lightest it is volcanic and has many holes in
What is the name of a igneous rock other than basalt and granite?
Diorite, rhyolite, pumice, and scoria.
Is sandstone a scoria granite or pumice?
None of those. Scoria, Pumice and Granite are igneous rocks. Sandstone is sedimentary.
How is granite different from scoria pumice and obsidian?
Granite is an igneous rock that is coarse-grained and mainly composed of quartz, feldspar, and mica. Scoria and pumice are volcanic rocks with vesicular textures due to gas bubbles. Obsidian is a natural glass formed from rapidly cooling lava without crystallization.
Granite pumica and scoria are igneous rocks Why doesnt granite air have airholes like the other two?
Granite is an intrusive igneous rock that cools slowly beneath the Earth's surface, allowing time for crystal formation without trapping much gas. Pumice and scoria, on the other hand, are extrusive igneous rocks that cool rapidly at the surface, trapping gas bubbles within the rock, creating the characteristic airholes.
Is scoria nutritious?
No. Scoria is rock. It is inedible.
Give 10 examples of igneous rock.?
some examples of igneous rocks are granite,basalt,and rhyolite and driolite
What are the properties of scoria rock?
Scoria is a highly vesicular (porous), dark colored volcanic rock.
Is scoria metamorphic?
no, extrusive because it is made by lava not magma.
Why doesn't granite have air holes like pumice and scoria?
Granite is an igneous rock that forms deep within the Earth's crust, where the slow cooling allows large mineral crystals to form without trapping air bubbles. Pumice and scoria, on the other hand, are formed from volcanic eruptions where the rapid cooling and depressurization trap bubbles of gas within the rock, creating the porous texture.
Is scoria a sedimentary rock?
No, scoria is not a sedimentary rock. Scoria is an extrusive igneous rock that forms when magma is rapidly cooled and solidified on the Earth's surface. It is typically dark-colored and has a vesicular texture due to the presence of gas bubbles that were trapped during the rapid cooling process.
Why doesnt granite have airholes like pumice and scoria?
Pumice and scoria are both extrusive igneous rocks that form when molten rock is ejected from a volcano. In both cases gasses trapped in the magma are released, forming bubbles. Granite, by contrast, is an intrusive rock that forms when molten rock cools deep underground without erupting from a volcano. The magma is under great pressure so that gasses cannot be released. Instead they become part of the mineral structure of the newly form rock.
