How do gabbro and pumice differ in texture and density?
have differnt made up marerials
Which rock is light has a rough texture and has many hollow spaces?
Could be pumice or scoria.
Why does scoria have a similar texture to pumice but does not float on water like pumice?
Scoria has thicker vesicle walls than pumice does. This means it has a lower proportion of open space in it, making it less dense than water.
Igneous feature would you find rocks with a vesicular texture?
Vesicular igneous rocks cool quickly from magma, resulting in pockets of trapped gas or gas bubble imprints that make it appear porous. Pumice and scoria are examples of igneous rock with vesicles.
What does the texture of pumice indicate?
It is a light-weight rock with lots of holes in it. It floats. Colour is affected by the minerals inside it.

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.
22. What type of rock is formed when lava cools and fine grain texture is produced which sometimes contains air bubbles?
Pumice
