No, scoria is not a metamorphic rock. It is a type of igneous rock that is formed from lava that has cooled quickly, resulting in a porous and vesicular texture. Metamorphic rocks are formed from the alteration of existing rocks due to heat and pressure.
no, extrusive because it is made by lava not magma.
Rhyolite is a rock type that is categorized by mineral composition. Scoria is a textural rock type. Like, Rhyolite can be smooth, or it can be scoria (sharper, bumpier, lots of vesicles).Think of it as a rock adjective.
Scoria is usually reddish in color but may be black.
Scoria is a volcanic igneous rock that is composed of approximately 50% silica and 10% calcium oxide and lesser contents of potash and soda. Its hardness on the Mohs scale is 5 - 6.
metamorphic rock
no, extrusive because it is made by lava not magma.
No. Slag (more commonly called scoria) is an igneous rock.
No. Scoria is rock. It is inedible.
Scoria is a highly vesicular (porous), dark colored volcanic rock.
Neither, Igneous rock is either intrusive or extrusive. Thats what intrusive and extrusive is... A igneous rock.
No, scoria is not a sedimentary rock. Scoria is an extrusive igneous rock that forms when magma is rapidly cooled and solidified on the Earth's surface. It is typically dark-colored and has a vesicular texture due to the presence of gas bubbles that were trapped during the rapid cooling process.
scoria
No. Scoria is a basaltic lava ejected as fragments from a volcano, typically with a frothy texture.
A metamorphic rock.

in a metamorphic rock you find rock.
