What is the solid form of lava that is so frothy with gas when it reaches the surface?
Pumice is volcanic rock formed from frothy lava. It will usually float on water because of all the gas bubbles in it.
Frothy volcanic rock formed by expanding gas bubbles in erupting lava.?
The rock formed is very light and is known as pumice or pumice stone.
Is pluton a volcanic rock?
I learned about this when I was in the seventh grade. Pumice is volcanic. It was made by nature when lava and gases was thrown out of a volcano. As the gas bubbles escaped from the lava, it become frothy. When the lava cooled and hardened, the result was a very light rock material filled with tiny bubbles of gas.
What is a slab of volcanic rock called?
