What else can I help you with?
Can igneous rock sink?
Old, cool igneous rock sinks.
How can you tell that diorite rock is an intrusive igneous rock?
because most intrusive igneous rock are found underground and diorite is found under the earth.
Igneous rock that forms when magma hardens beneath earths surface is called?
Intrusive igneous rock
How are igneous rocks that have high levels of quartz classified?
A rock is considered igneous if it formed directly from the cooling of molten rock.
How can mineral quartz be in an igneous and sedimentary rock?
== == Quartz is actually a silicate mineral that appears in metamorphic, sedimentary, and igneous rocks.
What igneous rock has tiny holes that look like a sponge?
pumice
What are two ways you could identify igneous rock?
When it has holes and small rocks inside the rock
Does an ingneous rock contain many small holes?
An igneous rock can contain small holes called vesicles, which are formed by gas bubbles trapped in the rock during its cooling process. These vesicles can vary in size and density depending on the type of igneous rock and the amount of gas released during solidification.
What gets trapped while the magma or lava is cooling making holes in the igneous rock?
Gas bubbles get trapped in the magma or lava as it cools, forming holes in the igneous rock. These holes are often filled with minerals, such as quartz or calcite, creating geodes or nodules.
What do you called an igneous rock that floats on water due to the presence of many gas bubble holes.?
Pumice is such a rock.
You find a volcanic rock that is fairly smooth and only has a few small holes made when gas and water vapor escaped as the rock cooled you know that the rock can be classified as?
The volcanic rock can be classified as basalt. Basalt is a fine-grained igneous rock that forms from the solidification of lava flows. The smooth texture and small holes, known as vesicles, are characteristic features of basalt.
What causes igneous rocks to have holes?
Holes in igneous rocks are typically formed by gas bubbles getting trapped in the molten rock as it cools and solidifies. These trapped gas bubbles then escape as the rock solidifies, leaving behind cavities or holes.
What is a igneous rock made with volcanic rock with many air holes light enough to float on water?
That is a type of rock called pumice.
What is a lightweight igneous rock that is full of tiny holes?
I'd say pumice is the closest to your description.
What is an igneous rock that floats on water due to the presence of many gas bubble holes.?
The rock comes from a volcano and is known as pumice.
What describes rock that was formed when molten rock cooled down?
Igneous rock is formed.
Is obsidian metamorphic igneous or sedimentary?
Obsidian is an igneous rock.
