Is a pumice rock a rock or a mineral?
Pumice is an extrusive igneous rock, not a mineral.
In which type of rock would you mostly likely find fossil?
Sedimentary.
Is pumice a metamorphic rock?
No pumice is not a porphyritic igneous rock, a porphyritic rock is characterized by the presence of phenocrysts (large mineral grains) and very small mineral grains with none in between. This implies that there was two different stages of cooling. Pumice is an extrusive igneous rock that cooled very quickly.
What rock floats on water?
Floating rocks: pumice. Non-floating rocks: all but pumice. Pumice can float on water because its density is so low, due to trapped bubbles of air which formed during its solidification from lava.
What type of rock will float on water?
Any with a density less than the fluid into which it is placed. Pumice is a volcanic rock that will sometimes float on water.pumice
Is pumice a fossil?
Pumice is not a fossil because it is not an evidence of a previously living organism. Pumice is a vesicular extrusive igneous rock.
Is a pumice rock a rock or a mineral?
Pumice is an extrusive igneous rock, not a mineral.
What is a light porous volcanic rock called?
Pumice. It floats on water due to its vesicular structure.
Are pumice stones and lava rock comparable?
Not all lava rock is pumice. Lava rock is a term used synonymously with pumice by some material suppliers. Actually though, any rock formed from cooling lava would be considered a 'lava' rock and would include rocks like pumice, obsidian, and basalt. Only lava has a density less than that of water, allowing it to float.
In which type of rock would you mostly likely find fossil?
Sedimentary.
What metamorphic rock can float?
Pumice.
What type of rock is pumice?
It is an igneous (volcanic rock).
Does pumice rock turn into granite after its process?
no pumice rock does not turn into granite.
What are the types of atoms in a pumice rock?
The types of atoms in a pumice rock are igneous
What can happen if you eat pumice?
Eating pumice is a very bad idea. Pumice is an igneous rock, and it would probably damage your digestive system if your stomach acid doesn't dissolve it. Even if your stomach did dissolve it, there could be lethal toxins in a rock like pumice.

Is pumice rare?
it depends what part of the world you come from. because pumice is a type of rock produced by volcanoes if you lived in a part of the world where ther are lots of volcanoes then no it would not be a rare substance but if you lived in a part of the world that ther was no volcanoes then pumice would be rare .Pumice is not rare it is a very common volcanic rock.
