Which countries have scoria?
Scoria is a dark colored, extrusive igneous rock with a vesicular texture. It can be found in all countries that have volcanoes.
What are examples of igneous rock?
nothing
How do you classify igneous rocks from other types of rock?
Igneous rocks are identified by first looking at the color index. Felsic igneous rocks contain mostly potassium feldspar. Intermediate igneous rocks contain mostly plagioclase feldspar. Mafic igneous rocks contain pyroxene, olivine, and plagioclase feldspar. Ultra mafic igneous rocks contain mostly olivine. Then igneous rocks are identified based on texture. For example, the texture of igneous rocks can be aphanitic, pegmatitic, phaneritic, glassy, vesicular, etc.
What are the factors that controls most texture in igneous rocks?
magma or lava controls most texture in igneous rock
What is a rock formed from lava that cooled quickly and entrapped air and other gases and is similar to scoria?
Pumice is similar to scoria in appearance and formed from very rapidly cooled lava, entrapping expanding gas in the form of air pockets and ruptured bubbles, giving it a vesicular texture.
What do large crystal grains in an igneous rock indicate?
A vesicular igneous texture generally indicates rapid cooling.
An igneous rock with lots of gas bubble voids has a?
It has a vesicular texture.
What is vesicular texture in rock?
* Vesicular rock texture is generally displayed in extrusive igneous rocks which contain many vesicles of trapped air, such as pumice or scoria. * Igneous rocks containing holes which were produced as gases escaped from the upper part of lava flow.

How is the vesicular texture of an igneous rock formed?
A vesicular texture is one where there are small voids within the igneous rock. These tend to form in extrusive igneous rocks due to the loss of confining pressure which causes gasses dissolved in the molten material to come out of solution or exsolve. These gasses form bubbles within the cooling lava and can become trapped if the lava cools rapidly, leaving a permanent gas bubble or void space within the solidified igneous rock.

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.
Which features are extrusive igneous rocks least likely to have?
A)fossils B)small grains C)vesicular texture D) porphyrtic texture Its one of these answers i chose D. because its more likely to have it. Idk if its the right answer.

Lava rock with air pockets?
Scoria and pumice are vesicular igneous rocks.
What are four felsic igneous rocks?
vesicular rhyolite, rhyolite, granite, and pegmatite!
