What rocks are volcanoes made up of?
Solid Rock and Magma
Why all rocks are made up of minerals but minerals are not made of rocks?
Well the rocks you find here on the surface are made up of many kinds of minerals, like when you see a certain type of rack that has small glass-like spots. Minerals are just mineral alone. A lump of lead is just only made up of lead, not anything else. Some minerals can be called rocks. Water is a mineral, but it is not a rock.
Dose glass have minerals in it?
yes
What type of rock is made of minerals?
The reverse: most rocks are made out of minerals. Rocks may contain only one type of mineral or many. Some rocks (such as obsidian or pumice) may not contain any minerals because they are made of volcanic glass. Volcanic glass lacks a crystal structure (defined arrangement of atoms, much like bricks being orderly arranged in a brick wall) and so does not meet the definition of a mineral. Minerals are naturally occurring, inorganic solids with defined chemical compositions and definite crystal structures. Rocks are naturally occurring, coherent (not loose grains) solids consisting of minerals and/or glasses.
What rocks made of?
Rocks which are made of minerals can be made up of many minerals and they can also be made up of only one mineral. Generally rocks are made of two or more minerals

What minerals does the rock pumice have?

What is the principal mineral used in making glass?
Glass is manufactured primarily from the mineral quartz (SiO2) which is what sand is made from. However small amounts of other minerals are added to the sand to make the process easier. These minerals are:- sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) lime (calcium oxide (CaO) magnesium oxide (MgO) aluminum oxide (Al2O3) There are also other minerals which are added to make specialised glasses. e.g. Pyrex glass is made from sand and boron oxide.
What are the names of the minerals that make pumice?
Pumice usually does not contain minerals. it is made of glass. A few microscopic crystals of quartz or feldspar may be found here or there in the glassy groundmass.
