Is obsidian porous?
Obsidin rock, or volcanic glass is non-porous.
What is a light porous volcanic rock called?
Pumice. It floats on water due to its vesicular structure.
Are river rocks porous?
No. It is a fine grained extrusive volcanic rock that is light in color. It is usually not porous.
Can metamorphic rocks float?
The extrusive volcanic rock pumice can float on water. Other extrusive volcanic rocks are not so lucky.
Three non-porous rock?
Sorry but i only got 1 porous rock and 1 non-porous rock :)Porous rock = sandstonenon-porous rock =granite
What type of rock is tuff?
volcanic - it is made form volcanic ash that has solidified.
Is obsidian porous?
Obsidin rock, or volcanic glass is non-porous.
What is a light porous volcanic rock called?
Pumice. It floats on water due to its vesicular structure.
Are river rocks porous?
No. It is a fine grained extrusive volcanic rock that is light in color. It is usually not porous.
What are the properties of scoria rock?
Scoria is a highly vesicular (porous), dark colored volcanic rock.
Is bathstone porous?
By bathstone I assume you mean Pumice which is a volcanic rock with bubbles of gas trapped inside. And yes, it is usually porous
Is granit a porous rock?
The crystals of granite are very tightly interlocked. This means that granite is not a very porous type of rock.
Is this how you spell tuff in reference to a hairstyle when hair is receding?
The word sought is spelled "tuft" (a small mound or bunch of hair).The spelling tuff is a type of porous volcanic rock.
How can there be a rock that floats and what are three ways that this rock can be formed?
Very porous rocks such as pumice can be very light and have the potential to float on water. Pumice is a volcanic rock.
What type of rock has holes in it?
Volcanic rocks with gas bubbles are called vesicular. This, however, is a descriptive term rather than an actual rock types. Some vesicular volcanic rocks include pumice, scoria, and vesicular basalt.
Are volcanic rocks porous?
Igneous rocks range from the highly porous pumice to the nearly non-porous granite. In some explosive eruptions of felsic magma, as is the case with pumice, the frothy mixture of rock and gas cools so rapidly that open vesicles are preserved, making it very lightweight and porous. With granite, the intrusive igneous rock has had a long time to cool underground, and with its interlocking crystalline structure, it has an extremely low porosity.
What type of rock do you have?
volcanic rock from cape verde
