What rocks do you need to make fire?

According to an IVillage expert, you should use volcanic rocks if available. Why? Because rocks from a stream or other water source tends to be wet and when they are lighted on fire they have been known to cause serious injury because they have been shown to explode. But not volcanic rock because it tends to be dry regardless of the conditions. Hope this helps.

Rocks are held together by the intergrowth of crystals in igneous and metamorphic rock, or by the cementation of sedimentary particles by a variety of possible minerals like calcite and quartz, in the lithification process leading to sedimentary rock formation.


Is it possible to burn rocks?

While rocks are not flammable, extreme heat can cause certain rocks to melt or crack due to thermal expansion. However, rocks do not undergo combustion or burn in the same way that organic materials do.


What are 5 facts about static electricity?

Static electricity occurs when positive and negative charges build up on the surface of an object. It can be generated by friction between two objects or by separating and rejoining charges. Static electricity can cause objects to stick together or repel each other. It can also cause sparks or shocks when discharged. Some common examples of static electricity include rubbing a balloon on your hair to make it stick and lightning during a storm.


What kind of rocks do minerals make?

Minerals make up various types of rocks, including igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks. Igneous rocks form from the cooling and solidification of magma or lava, sedimentary rocks form from the accumulation and cementation of sediments, and metamorphic rocks form through the alteration of existing rocks under high temperature and pressure.
