Is obsidian a diamond?
No, obsidian and diamond are two different materials. Obsidian is a naturally occurring volcanic glass, while diamond is a crystalline form of carbon. They differ in composition, appearance, and properties.
Can a moon have a moon?
While theoretically possible, the gravitational forces between a moon and its moon would likely be less stable compared to a planet-moon system, making it less likely for a moon to have a moon of its own.
Is the flag still on the moon?
Yes, the flags that were planted on the moon during the Apollo missions are likely still standing, but the harsh conditions on the moon have likely bleached them white from the sun's ultraviolet rays.
Can diamond break obsidian?
No, diamond cannot break obsidian. Obsidian is harder than diamond on the Mohs scale, which measures the hardness of minerals. Diamond itself is the hardest natural material, but it cannot scratch or break obsidian due to its unique molecular structure.
Is life more likely on dry rocky moon or on an icy moon?
I don't really know to be honest
Is the metamorphic rock obsidian or pumice?
Neither. Both pumice and obsidian are igneous.
Why is a piece of pumice lighter than a piece of obsidian equal size?
Because pumice is lighter than obsidian always. That means obsidian weighs more than pumice.
Name 4 kinds of igneous rocks?
Examples of igneous rocks are pumice, obsidian, basalt, and rhyolite.
Why doesn't pumice or obsidian turn into a metamorphic rock?
Pumice and obsidian are both forms of volcanic glass, which weathers away fairly easily.
Is pumice and obsidian forms of volcanic gas?
Partially correct. Pumice forms from rapidly cooling lava containing volatiles (water and gas) and obsidian forms from rapidly cooling lava that doesn't contain volatiles. Bubbles from volatiles are frozen in place and cannot escape before the lava hardens forming pumice. Obsidian and pumice are sometimes found together although obsidian itself is relatively rare.
Is pumice and obsidian exaples of minerals?
Pumice is not a mineral; it is a type of volcanic rock with a frothy texture. Obsidian, on the other hand, is a naturally occurring volcanic glass and is considered a mineraloid rather than a true mineral because it lacks a crystalline structure.
Name a volcanic rock?
Obsidian, basalt, andesite, pumice.
What does granite obsidian and pumice share?
They are all Igneous rocks.
What type of rocks are pumice obsidian and granite?
Igneous rocks
What is the common name for obsidian rock?
The common name for obsidian rock is volcanic glass.
What is the difference between obsidian and pumice?
Obsidian is a dense, dark volcanic rock formed from fast-cooling lava, resulting in a glassy texture, while pumice is a light, porous volcanic rock formed from frothy lava with trapped air bubbles, giving it a spongy texture. Obsidian is typically black or dark-colored, while pumice is usually light-colored due to its high porosity.
What are some names of extrusive igneous rocks?
== == Rhyolite, basalt, pumice, obsidian, andesite, dacite, tuff, welded tuff, scoria.
