What are some names of extrusive igneous rocks?
== == Rhyolite, basalt, pumice, obsidian, andesite, dacite, tuff, welded tuff, scoria.
How is granite different from scoria pumice and obsidian?
Granite is an igneous rock that is coarse-grained and mainly composed of quartz, feldspar, and mica. Scoria and pumice are volcanic rocks with vesicular textures due to gas bubbles. Obsidian is a natural glass formed from rapidly cooling lava without crystallization.
Pumice obsidian and scoria are kinds of?
volcanic rocks formed from different processes. Pumice is a light and porous rock formed from foamy lava, obsidian is a dark volcanic glass formed from quickly cooled lava, and scoria is a dark, vesicular rock formed from gas-rich lava.
Why does scoria have a similar texture to pumice but does not float on water like pumice?
Scoria and pumice are both volcanic rocks with gas bubbles trapped in their matrix, giving them a similar porous texture. However, scoria is denser than pumice due to its higher iron and magnesium content, which makes it sink in water whereas pumice, being less dense, floats.

Is sandstone a scoria granite or pumice?
None of those. Scoria, Pumice and Granite are igneous rocks. Sandstone is sedimentary.
Are Scoria and Pumice pyroclastic rocks?
yes
Can pumice be red?
No. However there is a similar rock to pumice called scoria, which is sometimes red.
Why does scoria have a similar texture to pumice but does not float on water like pumice?
Scoria and pumice are both volcanic rocks with gas bubbles trapped in their matrix, giving them a similar porous texture. However, scoria is denser than pumice due to its higher iron and magnesium content, which makes it sink in water whereas pumice, being less dense, floats.
Why does pumice float and scoria dosent?
Pumice is less dense than scoria. While they both have holes, pumices pore like holes trap air allowing it to float.

Igneous rocks that cool quickly on earth surface are?
Igneous rocks that cool quickly on the Earth's surface are called extrusive or volcanic rocks. Examples include basalt, obsidian, and pumice. These rocks have fine-grained textures due to their rapid cooling.
